My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mama Kelly

Mama Kelly’s story is one that stays with you. She came to us from Folsom Prison, where she wasn’t just another cat—she was an inmate favorite, a source of comfort, calm, and unconditional love in a very hard place. The people there loved her deeply.

While there, Mama Kelly became pregnant and later gave birth to three precious babies, caring for them with the quiet devotion only a true mama can give. Now that her babies are grown, it’s finally her turn.

Mama Kelly may be a Persian mix, with a soft, gentle presence and the sweetest circle marking on her face—like a little reminder of how special she is. She is spayed, vaccinated, and currently with our friends at Friends of Felines, waiting patiently for a home of her own.

She has been around kids, other cats, and dogs, and she takes everything in stride with grace and kindness. Mama Kelly is truly just… love.

The inmates loved her so much that they wished she could come back. Letting her go was not easy—but they understood something important: Mama Kelly deserves more. She deserves a warm couch, gentle hands, and a family who will love her forever.

Mama Kelly has given comfort, raised babies, and touched so many hearts. Now she’s ready to give her heart to you. 🐾💖

More about this rescue

Founded in 2020, Friends of Felines Rescue initially began in Rio Linda and now proudly serves both Rio Linda and its surrounding areas. 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-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!
