Adoption
Policy FAQ's We try to find a good match between the adopter and a cat/kitten. We have a screening process that covers our adoption criteria.
We occasionally make exceptions with adult cats that have been raised outdoors, but otherwise we have a strict indoor-only policy. There is no good reason to allow a feline outside and many reasons to keep them inside. Please see our article "
Declawing does not just remove the claw. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that in order to remove the claw, the last bone of the cat's toe has to be amputated. Declawing is considered "inhumane" and "unnecessary mutilation" in England and is illegal in many European countries. Other options are available and should be discussed with a veterinarian. Folsom Feline Rescue recommends Additional information is available from: DECLAWING, A Veterinarian's View, by Dr. Christianne Schelling DECLAWING CATS: Issues & Alternatives Resource for declawing information Drs. Foster & Smith, "How to clip your pets nails" by Martin Smith, D.V.M.
We provide the following services to each animal under our care.
The adoption fee and community donations help recover the cost we pay for these services. If you were to pay for these services yourself you would pay between $200 and $250 dollars. There is no such thing as a free cat or kitten. Regardless of where you adopt your pet these minimum services should be performed.
Flea collars are very toxic especially for younger kittens. If they get the collar in their mouth it could kill them. Collars in general can be a choking hazard for cats and kittens. Make sure any collar you put on your pet is a break-away type. Flea collars are also ineffective in ridding your pet of fleas. We recommend using topical flea control products, such as Frontline®, Advantage®, or Revolution®. These products provide a month of effective flea protection in an easy to use applicator. A few small drops on the skin and your done. Additional information is available by reading the article "Got Fleas?"
Unfortunately not all the shelters in our county are no-kill. This means that if the cat or kitten is not adopted he or she may be euthanized in order to make room for new arrivals. Folsom Feline Rescue is a no-kill rescue organization. Because of this fact we want to protect all our felines even after being adopted. This policy also limits the number of felines we can rescue.
We work very hard to provide healthy, tested felines for adoption. Testing is not 100% effective so we would like to know of any potential problems that may impact either our foster homes or kittens in the same litter.
