| WHO WE ARE: Forgotten Felines is a not for profit, no kill, all volunteer group of enthusiastic and caring people who help animals, mostly felines. We have a network of foster homes that open their homes and hearts to homeless and abandoned cats and kittens. We have two programs: ADOPTION PROGRAM: We take in cats that have known human homes but have been abandoned for various reasons or "feral" kittens young enough to be tamed. Despite their unfortunate circumstances, these cats are usually friendly and amazingly trusting. The cats are placed in a foster home of one of our volunteers where their needs are met and they are given the love they deserve. When the "foster person" feels the cat is ready, we begin to take them to "adoption days" out in the community and search for a suitable loving home where they can live happily. Our adoption fee includes a free spay/neuter, first distemper vaccination, rabies vaccination if old enough, worming, testing for feline leukemia and feline aids virus, and treatment of any medical condition necessary before adopting them to their new families. FERAL CATS PROGRAM: is our effort to help control the enormous problem of feral (born in the wild) cat colonies. We do this by humanely trapping the cats, having them examined by a veterinarian, and then altered. After holding them for a recovery period, the cats are released back to their colony family to live out the rest of their lives. Someone makes sure shelter and daily food is provided. One spayed female can save hundreds of kittens from being born into a harsh life of survival on the streets. |
