About Folsom Feline Rescue and Folsom,CA

Folsom Feline Rescue (located in Folsom, CA) began operations as a feline rescue organization on May 9th, 2000. John and Janet Bennett, founders of Folsom Feline Rescue, have been active in feline rescue since 1997. After the loss of a loving companion they began fostering kittens for a rescue group. In January they decided to start their own rescue group to focus on the Folsom area.

We are a 100% volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to feline rescue. Our main source of funding is from public donations and adoption fees for adopted animals.

Folsom Feline Rescue is committed to improving the quality of life for homeless and unwanted felines by providing and finding homes, assisting and educating the community, and controlling overpopulation. We advocate compassion towards felines, community support, and the belief that felines are life-long companions.

Our primary objectives are to:

Folsom Feline Rescue is not a shelter, county animal control, or the SPCA. We do work with the SPCA and other organizations when possible. Volunteers care for all our foster felines in private foster homes. We cover medical care for all our animals including FELV/FIV testing, spay or neuter, and distemper vaccines. Our foster volunteers provide the love, care, and attention for the animal.

The Folsom city population is currently at 45,493 for January 1, 2000 and is growing at a yearly rate of 5 – 7%. The final population is expected to reach about 69,000 residents when “build-out” completes. By forming a rescue group now we can help ensure that the feline population will not become a problem as it is in other areas of Sacramento county. We cannot do this alone. Only with the community’s support will we be able to succeed in reaching our objectives.

Sincerely,
John Bennett - President
