Our Mission

Friends of Murphy Animal Rescue Society exists to provide animals in need with a safe place to land and the care they deserve to heal, recover, and find permanent homes.

Our work currently focuses on cats, with the intention of expanding our support to other animals when it can be done responsibly and in alignment with our values.

We are guided by compassion, patience, and responsibility. Our mission is rooted in thoughtful rescue, calm, home-based care, and long-term success for both animals and the people who welcome them into their lives.

How we carry out our mission

Our work focuses on the following core areas:

Rescue and intake
We respond to situations involving animals who are stray, abandoned, or living in unsafe conditions and bring them into care when appropriate.

Medical support
Animals in our care receive necessary veterinary attention and treatment to support their health and recovery.

Home-based care
Animals are supported in calm, home environments, including foster homes and our own, where they can stabilize, heal, and build trust.

Rehabilitation and support
We provide time, patience, and structure for animals who need help regaining confidence or adapting to life in a home.

Adoption and placement
When ready, animals are matched with responsible adopters who understand their needs and are committed to providing long-term care.

Community awareness
We promote responsible ownership, safe living conditions, and access to resources that help prevent neglect and improve animal welfare.

Everything we do is inspired by Murphy’s gentle spirit and the belief that every life deserves a safe place.
