VOLUME 1, ISSUE 4

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.

program is possible due to a great fundraising effort by Petco Pet stores during the month of April. We will be using the donations from that event to start our pilot program, SNYP. Spay and Neuter Your Pets will provide free spays and neuters for cats and dogs in the City of Folsom. We anticipate that we will be able to do 100 animals with the initial funds.

Additional fundraisers kick off at the end of this month with the start of the Folsom Thursday Night Market Fair. Start saving all of your CRV recyclable's for our Cans 4 Cats fundraiser. We will be collecting all CRV glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans at our adoption events and at the market

May is also important because it is our 1-year anniversary. Folsom Feline Rescue was started May 9th of last year. We will be celebrating our first year on June 3rd at the Folsom Rotary Club. It is hard to believe that a year has already passed, but I am even more amazed at what we've accomplished in that year. Great job, FFR!

Until next time,

John Bennett
