Folsom Feline Rescue (located in Folsom, CA) began operations as a feline rescue organization on May 9th, 2000. We are a 100% volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt 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:
Rescue homeless and unwanted felines
Spay and neuter felines to prevent overpopulation
Place rescued felines into selected caring, responsible, permanent homes

Provide routine medical care to rescued felines
Educate the community on the importance of spaying and neutering felines
Recruit volunteers to further our goals
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 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.

We are well on our way to a busy year of rescue. Our trapping program is starting slowly but that will increase with time. We will soon begin getting calls to rescue kittens, but for now we have been able to concentrate on adult rescues.
A number of issues in January have made me think about the inhumane treatment of our dear feline friends, pets, and animals in general. We all need to be more aware of how pets are treated because these animals cannot speak for themselves. Stories like 25 cats in a small duplex (see page 5), ferals running wild and being left to die under cars (article coming in March), or the brutal beating and death of a cat named Max (click here for the full story) make me wonder what is going on. Even the common act of declawing cats should be considered from the cat's point of view.

I am grateful that Folsom Feline Rescue and its volunteers are in a position to help eliminate or control these situations, offer solutions, and educate the community at large. I look forward to a time where our group is not needed. Until then, thank you all for your assistance.
John Bennett
