Folsom Feline Rescue

About Folsom Feline Rescue

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 services. Our main source of funding is from public donations and grants.

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

As of January 2011, our primary objectives are to:

  • Spay and neuter felines, through trapping programs,  to prevent overpopulation

  • Provide spay & neuter services to the public

  • Educate the community on the importance of spaying and neutering felines

  • Obtain contributions and grants to carry out our objectives

Folsom Feline Rescue is not a shelter, county animal control, or the SPCA. We do work with the local and national organizations when possibleSafety Cat.

Only with the community’s support will we be able to succeed in reaching our objectives.
