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!

Ruff Riders Rescue Ur Forever Friend

One of the RUFF adopters, Karen Ruben, wrote a book, Ruff Riders, based on a true story about the volunteers that rescued a litter of puppies that included Ruby, the dog that she would end up adopting from RUFF.


In the book, 11-year-old Olivia Thomas longs for a dog of her own, but her reluctant parents don't think that she is responsible enough. When she hears about an abandoned dog with a litter of puppies in the forest, she and her friend April, along with their new tech-savvy friend, Quinn, leap into action.


Through teamwork, family, and community, Olivia learns that anything important is worth the effort.


A portion of the proceeds from the book go to RUFF! Learn more about the book and author here: Rescue Ur Furever Friend
