Saving cats lives

A Second Chance Starts With You

Welcome to Feline Urgent Rescue (FUR) of Western North Carolina. FUR is a non-profit, cage-free, last-chance sanctuary dedicated to the rescuing, rehabilitation and rehoming of cats in our community. Operated mostly by volunteers and funded almost exclusively through donations, FUR’s goal is simple: to eliminate feline homelessness and reduce shelter euthanasia rates. While our aim may seem high, we know that with your support, anything is possible. We hope you’ll become a FUR supporter today. After all, a second chance for every abused, abandoned and neglected cat starts with you.
