About Friends of Feral Felines
We are the Friends of Feral Felines, an all-volunteer network of individuals working to address the needs of feral, abandoned, and stray cats living in Southern Maine's streets, barns, and woods.
Founded in 1993, we believe that all cats have inherent value and worth. therefore, our mission is to relieve the problems placed on feral cats through population and abandonment.
First, we assess a colony to determine whether it is located in a safe environment. If it is deemed safe, our volunteers manage the colony through daily feedings, and by neutering and tending to health care needs of the colony members. Colonies exist all over southern Maine.
We, trap, neuter, and return (TNR). This method a feral cat is first trapped, then provided medical care, including neutering, and finally returned to its home colony. Over time, TNR reduces the colony size.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
