Friends of Felines Rescue

Our mission is simple: to tackle cat overpopulation while supporting local communities. We're all about nurturing and protecting our furry friends by providing loving foster homes for orphaned, sick, and injured cats until they're healthy and ready for their forever homes. We're big advocates for spaying and neutering, not just for our beloved pets but also for our community cat colonies. As a volunteer-driven nonprofit, we're dedicated to the art of Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return, lending a helping paw by providing free training on trapping, traps for those in need, and information on low-cost surgeries. We rescue kittens and friendly strays, prepping them for loving families. Our aim? Spreading love and care for our cat friends!

Our vision is that our efforts will help transform high-need communities to improve the quality of life for both animals and humans.

Goal One: Our goal is to secure stable funding and appointments so we can make an impact on the increasing spay/neuter requests received due to the community cat over-population crisis in Sacramento County.

Goal Two: Advocacy efforts promote community awareness to protect the lives of feral/community cats.

Goal Three: November 2024 attend a feline symposium with our board and fosters at UCD Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.

When it became apparent that the former president lacked the administration skills to successfully manage and grow our rescue, the board installed new leadership who are collaborative with other rescues, spay/neuter clinics, and local shelters, have done community outreach, and plan on taking the board and fosters to a kitten symposium at UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital so we can all better help the animals in our care.

In 2023 the rescue went through a change in leadership and a name change. Under the old leadership the rescue appeared to be healthy, but in truth it was failing and probably would have folded due to inefficient management. Donated food and medication was expired and tossed due to hoarding, deadlines were missed to apply for grants, no proper record keeping or accountability. The board voted in new leadership, and the rescue is thriving. The name change was needed for fundraising purposes.
