Our Adoptable Pet List
We charge an adoption fee for all of our pets. We strongly believe that something free may not be valued highly. Most of our animals come from rural shelters and are on euthanasia lists. All pets are spay/neutered and brought current on shots before adoption. Dogs are heartworm tested if they are old enough. Generally our fees are $80 for cats and $200 for dogs. We require an adoption application be completed with references, especially a vet reference. We also perform a home visit when possible, at the applicant's convenience. We try to find a good match for the pet and the applicant. Just providing shelter, food and water is not enough. We do not adopt any dogs to be yard alarms. We adopt our cats to indoor homes only. We are looking for inside homes, primarily, for all of our rescues.
The economic collapse has rippled down to the pet population well beyond our expectations. Between foreclosures and families unable to financially care for their animals, FHRS is at 100% capacity. Unless we find additional foster homes immediately, we have been forced to turn away highly adoptable animals, a heartbreaking choice. Would you consider fostering a needy dog or cat? All these sadly displaced animals ask for is a safe haven and loving touch until they can find their forever homes. FHRS covers all expenses for foster animals. You provide the love and the food. If you are willing to be a foster family, please email hissking@yahoo.com If you are a former FHRS adopter, please make a note of that in the email.
95% of cat owners admit they talk to their cats.
A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed.
A cat can jump as much as seven times its height.
A cat cannot see directly under its nose.
This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor.
A cat in a hurry can sprint at about thirty-one miles per hour.
A cat will spend nearly 30% of its life grooming itself.
A cat's brain is more similar to a humans brain than that of a dog.
A cat's hearing rates as one of the top in the animal kingdom. Cats can hear sounds as high-pitched as 65 kHz; a humans hearing stops at just 20 kHz.
A cat's sense of taste is keener than a dog's sense of taste.
A cat's tail held high means happiness. A twitching tail is a warning sign, and a tail tucked in close to the body is a sure sign of insecurity.
Americans spend more on cat food than on baby food.
