We have an #adoptionupdate from Jackie who adopted Fury in May 2026! According to Jackie, Fury’s name matches his energy so they will not be changing it. Jackie is a volunteer at CCS and after reading “Fury” by Salman Rushdie to all the cats for several weeks, Jackie went into the “Gold” room full of quiet and shy cats. Fury the Cat (recently released from quarantine) was all over the book and climbing in Jackie’s flannel shirt. It was love at first pat.
“Fury is settling in well. I’ve got cat scratchers strategically placed around the couch. He’s curious about all the corners he can hide in, but most of all loves to curl up by my side whether I’m at my desk, lounging on the couch, or eating at the kitchen table (he sits on the chair next to me).
“Fury is eating regularly and drinking water, and he quickly figured out where the litter box is and uses it without issue. He loves wand toys, and walking along the back of the couch. Fury is like a shadow and follows me all around from room to room. Our dust buster is his biggest nemesis so far, and even that he’s more curious about than scared of. He’s definitely adventurous, seeking out every new sound and smell. He likes to be up high, and dislikes taking his medicine (oral syringe antibiotic and eyedrops). We are making it work, though!
“Fury and I researched The Furies in Greco-Roman mythology last night. These are mythical creatures born from the blood of Uranus after his son Kronos slew him. The Furies were entities that persecuted those guilty of the most heinous crimes (patricide chief among them, as a result of their origin story). Essentially, these goddesses were representative of respect to elders and the maintenance of social order. Some stories posit that after Agamemnon pleaded to Athena for relief from his torment at the hands of The Furies that the snake-haired goddesses became more merciful and compassionate in their treatment of humans.”
