Facilitate Rescue Inc - Saving homeless cats, nine lives at a time

Facilitate Rescue Logo Banner

Facilitate Rescue Inc. is another amazing group that has joined us for past Spring Flings, and we are so excited to have them back again this year!


Established in 2017, Facilitate Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit cat rescue organization dedicated to saving cats and kittens who are at risk of euthanasia. With the support of compassionate, dedicated fosters, volunteers, and generous donations, Facilitate Rescue saves numerous cats from the Harnett County Shelter in Lillington, NC, while also taking in cats and kittens from the local community.

FR Cat with Plant

Facilitate Rescue’s mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for every cat in their care. Each cat is placed in a foster home where they receive socialization, love, and medical attention until they are ready for adoption. This approach helps ensure that every cat has the best possible chance at a long, happy life in a forever home.


Like most rescues, Facilitate Rescue relies on volunteers and foster homes to save cats in need. They can only save as many cats as they have foster homes available so if you want to help out, fostering would be a great way to do that! Learn more HERE!




Meet Adoptable Dipper!


Adoptable Dipper

Dipper is a tiny black-and-white kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Confident, playful, and full of charm, he keeps everyone entertained with his silly antics and fearless curiosity. Whether he’s chasing after toys, exploring every nook and cranny, or demanding treats with his adorable meows, Dipper brings endless joy to those around him.


This little guy loves food, people, and adventure in equal measure—nothing fazes him! He’s been fostered in a busy home with young kids, other cats, and a dog, and he takes it all in stride. After a long day of play, he’s happiest curling up on your lap, purring himself to sleep. Dipper is ready to bring fun, love, and snuggles to his forever family! Apply to adopt him HERE!



You can view all their adoptable cats and learn more about their work on their website and follow them on their social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, to keep up with all their activities!

Cats of All Types are Safe at The Goathouse Refuge

Goathouse Refuge is coming to Spring Fling!
Goathouse Refuge is coming to Spring Fling!

The Goathouse Refuge is another rescue group that has been joining us at Spring Fling for several years now and we are pleased to have them attending again this year! As regular Spring Fling attendees they said,

"It is a fun and well-organized event; we get a lot of exposure to new people who don't know about us since we are located in Pittsboro. The donations that get split with the nonprofits helps greatly as well as the food and other items that we pick up after the event. I also enjoy seeing everyone's dogs at the event!!"

Though the name brings farm animals to mind, Goathouse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal sanctuary that is:

"...dedicated to providing cage-free care for cats regardless of age, medical issues or disposition until a permanent loving adoptive home can be found."

For those who may not be suited to life in a typical home, whether because of medical issues or feral cats who prefer to stick to their wild ways, Goathouse is their permanent home where they can live as they please and be loved and cared for just the way they are.


Founder, Siglinda Scarpa, established The Goathouse Refuge in 2006 and continues to be an avid supporter. You can see her pottery and other work in a gallery at the refuge. Additionally, they sell coffee and all proceeds go towards care of the cats!


As of 2022, The Goathouse Refuge is shifting their focus to bring attention and aid to several groups of cats that are more underserved and traditionally overlooked; those who are older, or semi-feral, or who have special needs. These cats do get adopted but much less frequently than young cats who are "easy" to care for. As a result, this population ranks among the highest portions of euthanized cats in our nations' shelters.


"Consider the cats who have been faithful beloved companions for many years, only to be put out in the street or taken to a kill shelter when their humans can no longer care for them. Our goal will be to bring public awareness and sympathy to this group of cats, so that these animals receive the dignity and respect they have always deserved and so often have not received. We hope that this new focus as a place of last resort will change the discourse about and treatment of our elderly feline companions."

Majestic- currently available for adoption from Goathouse Refuge
Adopt Me!

Of course, all the cats that currently call Goathouse home, even outside the populations of their new focus, will continue to live there and be cared for until they find an adoptive home. So, if you are looking for a cat or two to complete your family, check out the cats at The Goathouse Refuge! You can stop by in person on Fridays by appointment, and Saturday & Sunday from 11:00am to 3:00pm.


One of their adoptable cats is Majestic, pictured here. He's a handsome teenaged guy who is said to get along with the other animals at the sanctuary and is sweet and friendly. You can view his profile page here and share it to help him find the perfect home to spend his golden years!


Learn more about Goathouse Refuge on their website, Facebook, and Instagram!


Don't miss visiting the Goathouse team, and maybe even some of their adoptable kitties, at Unleashed's 12th Annual Spring Fling Dog & Cat Fundraiser on Sunday, April 13, 2025, from 12-6 pm at Koka Booth Amphitheatre!!
