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.

Provide routine medical care to rescued felines
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 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.

On the financial front, both Petco stores are raising money for us through their Easter fundraiser. We have ear-marked this money to help start a spay and neuter campaign in the City of Folsom. The details are still being worked out, but we hope to have the program under way in the next few weeks. The program will be aimed at those cats that are not eligible to be spayed or neutered under existing programs.
Our "Pay It Forward For Pets" was a huge success, raising over $500 in only two weeks. Our web page has been updated to show the list of "Pay It Forward For Pets" donators. Please support these businesses because they have shown support for us.
Recruit, recruit, recruit! That is the message I would like to leave you with. We are always in need of volunteers to help with adoptions and fostering our homeless felines. The new PetsMart in Folsom is scheduled to open in April and we will need additional staffing help. Please contact us if you are able to help. Our volunteers are incredibly valuable to us and help make every feline's dream of a happy home a reality.
