Meet Target Tucker. He's three months old and was found at a Target beside a busy interstate, which is not where anyone plans to start life. He came in scared and unsure of everything, but it didn't take him long to decide that indoor living suits him just fine.

These days his schedule is full: toys, treats, and long shifts at the window keeping an eye on the squirrels. His foster mom will tell you about his beauty mark, and she's right that it makes him look extra handsome. Tucker would rather you knew about his love of head scratches. Start one and he'll purr loudly enough to let you know you're doing it right.

He's ready for a family of his own. Come meet him this Sunday at PetSmart in Turkey Creek from 11–3, or skip the wait and apply today at feralfelinefriends.org.

Exhibit A: Violynn and Luna, standing on their back legs at the window, shoulder to shoulder, watching the yard like it owes them money. Luna, the classic tabby, is on the left. Violynn, the mackerel tabby, is on the right. Neither is blinking.

Tomorrow is Halloween, and this is a team that needs a front door. Violynn would take notes on every trick-or-treater. Luna would greet each one personally.

They aren't sisters. Violynn was the last of her litter to be adopted, Luna needed a place to crash, and now they're roommates. They're opposites, but they complement each other. They get along well and look out for one another.

Violynn is independent and serious. She fetches balls, brings them back, and carries toy mice in her mouth like she's caught something important. When she wants affection she asks a little sheepishly, with an innocent meow that will get you every time.

Luna has never met a stranger. She's outgoing and affectionate, with a loud purr, and treats every toy on the floor as something to chase, bat, and send flying.

Meet them tomorrow at our Halloween adoption event at PetSmart in Powell from 10-3. They're not bonded, so they can go home together or separately.

Apply now at feralfelinefriends.org.

One-year-old Dr. Chumley is one of the newest residents at Scruffy’s Cafe, and he'd like everyone there to know he takes his snacks very seriously. This is a glutton with a full nightly concert schedule. He sings loudly for food, and he sings loudly just because.

He's a little shy at first, but he never raises a paw to another cat and gets along beautifully with feline company. Once he trusts you, he wants extended petting sessions entirely on his own terms, and yes, he will drool through the whole thing. His other great passion is staring at mirrors and out windows, for hours, no explanation offered.

The cafe keeps him well fed for now, but a lifetime of snacks requires a permanent household with a pantry and a window seat. Meet Dr. Chumley at Scruffy’s or apply to adopt him at feralfelinefriends.org.

The Voids are stepping out of the shadows and ready for forever homes. Meet the whole gang in person this SATURDAY from 10-3 at PetSmart in Powell, and spend Halloween with four black cats who would much rather be adopted than feared.

Whether you want a goofball, a bossy cuddle bug, a mischievous explorer, or a tiny gentle angel, this litter has a void for you.

Frankenstein is the big boy and the only male of the litter. He's a clumsy, playful baby who sometimes scares himself with his own antics, then goes right back to doing the thing that scared him. Watching him play is pure comedy. He also loves food and treats, so the way to his heart is not complicated.

Ghost is the ringleader, and she knows it. She's bossy, playful, and loves being petted. You'll hear her roaring purr before you spot her, which makes her the least stealthy black cat in East Tennessee. She also has an adorable bobtail.

Lantern is the mischief maker. She's shy for about five minutes, then her playful side takes over and stays in charge. She has never met a toy she didn't like. She recently decided she no longer hates dogs and could happily join a home with a cat-savvy canine.

Eerie is the runt, and she's finally catching up with her siblings. She's a gentle baby who loves to play and snuggle, with a quiet little purr and a sweet bobtail of her own. She doesn't take up much space, but she makes the most of it.

Stop by Saturday to meet them, ask questions, and see which void picks you. Can't make it? Apply to adopt at feralfelinefriends.org.

🎃 This Halloween, meet three sweet souls looking for their forever homes!

Meet Spooky! 🖤
Don't let her name fool you—there's nothing spooky about this sweet girl! At just 3 months old, Spooky has the purrfect mix of cuddly and playful. She goes absolutely bonkers for pets and loves chasing her wand toy, playing with her siblings, and enjoying yummy Churu treats. Her signature feature? One adorable white whisker that stands out against her beautiful black fur. She's ready to bring a little magic into her forever home!

Meet Ollie! 💙
With his gorgeous blue eyes and seal point Siamese coloring, 3-month-old Ollie is quite the little heartbreaker! This playful boy has never met a toy he didn't like and loves wrestling with his siblings. He's also a huge foodie, especially when Churu is involved. Ollie loves pets and has discovered the joys of cuddling with his foster mom. With those irresistible baby blues, he's sure to steal your heart!

Meet Cosmo! ✨
At 1 year old, Cosmo is as laid-back and easygoing as they come. This handsome all-black kitty may be shy at first, but underneath is an absolute sweetheart who starts purring the moment you pet him and gently reaches for your hand for more. He's getting braver every day and slowly letting his sweet personality shine through. All he needs is a patient, loving family to help him blossom!

Ready to welcome Spooky, Ollie, or Cosmo home? Apply today at feralfelinefriends.org!

Meet Riptide. At four months old, he operates at two speeds: full sprint and fast asleep. The only exception is mealtime, when he pauses long enough to chirp for wet food.

Riptide and his family were left behind after their caretaker passed away. When rescuers arrived, he was the first to step up, asking to be held and purring like he'd been expecting them. He hasn't stopped purring since. It is very loud.

He is also extremely handsome. His mom is a Devon Rex mix, and while Riptide skipped the curls, he inherited her wiry coat. Catch him in the right light and you'll see a faint wave running through all that black.

Riptide loves wrestling and racing with kittens his own age. In new situations, he checks with the older cats first to make sure everything's fine. A young, playful companion would suit him well. He's met dogs and found them intriguing, if not thrilling.

Riptide will be one of our newest residents at scruffyscafe this weekend, and he can’t wait to see everyone there. Can’t make it to Scruffy’s? Apply to adopt Riptide at feralfelinefriends.org.

Hi. I'm Shelly, and I've packed a lot into five months.

I started out in the parking lot of a Shell station, dodging cars and scrounging for whatever food I could find. (You can probably guess where my name came from.) Then FFF showed up, and things improved dramatically. I now have a soft bed, a toy collection, and a steady supply of food and treats. Not a bad gig.

My foster mom says I'm the sweetest. That's because I love to be loved. I want to be wherever the people are, and if you're not paying attention, I'll purr louder until you are. It works every time.

One more thing: there's a heart-shaped spot on my toe beans. I'm told this is very cute. I agree.

Come meet me this SUNDAY from 11-3 at PetSmart in Turkey Creek. I'll be the one purring. Or apply now at feralfelinefriends.org and get a head start.

Grits showed up one day at a community cat colony where FFF had previously done TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return). The colony's caretaker knew right away that this one didn't belong. Grits was friendly, she was out of place, and she had almost certainly been dumped. The caretaker called FFF for help.

Life on the streets was hard on her. Grits is a lap cat by nature, and the outdoors has a severe lap shortage.

Today she lives in a foster home with regular meals, a warm bed, and very few complaints. She is a sweet, friendly one-year-old girl with simple goals: a safe forever home and a warm lap to curl up on. She is not picky about whose lap. Yours would do nicely.

If you have a lap and a home to go with it, apply to adopt Grits at feralfelinefriends.org.

Two-month-old Muffie was found alone in the middle of a busy highway. She was a tiny kitten with no business being anywhere near traffic, and she couldn't see any of it.

A viral eye infection left Muffie blind from the moment her eyes opened. She has not let this slow her down. She is happy, social, and fully committed to kitten mischief. She loves people. She especially loves feet. Walk across the room and she will find them. Sit on the couch and she will find them faster. Nobody is sure what the appeal is, and Muffie isn't explaining.

Muffie needs a home with a friendly resident cat who will play with her and help her get her bearings. She also needs a safe, consistent setup where the furniture stays put. Give her those two things and she'll handle the rest.

She started out alone on a highway. She deserves a home, a feline friend, and people who appreciate her exactly as she is. If you'd like to be the person whose feet Muffie claims, apply at feralfelinefriends.org.

Goose had a good life. A family who loved him, a little girl he adored, and a dog roommate who left him alone. Then the family moved, Dad's allergies caught up with everyone, and Goose came back to FFF.

He took it hard. It was a while before he bounced back, but he's ready now, and at six years old he knows exactly what he wants: his people. Goose is a people cat, not a cat's cat, and he'll be happiest as the only feline in the house. He's already shown he can share a home with a kid and a dog who minds their own business.

When he's especially happy, he gives hugs. Actual hugs. Hard to top that.

If you have room for one devoted boy, apply to adopt Goose at feralfelinefriends.org.
