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
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.

Are we making a difference? Sometimes it is hard to tell, especially when you have a season like this one. You may be wondering what I'm referring to and it's all the kittens being born this year. In the past few years we have had kittens as early as February and consistently from that point on but not in extreme abundance. This year we got hit with large numbers all at once starting in June, however I am confident that we are making a difference. Groups like the San Diego Area Animal Coalition proves that TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) works. It's up to us and other groups or individuals to continue the spay and neuter campaigns. It won't change today, tomorrow, or next week but years later our efforts will be seen.
Recently, the topic of pet ID's was brought up. I think it's a great idea as a responsible pet owner to spay, neuter, and ID your pets. Cats can really benefit from the ID program as many of them are allowed to roam freely outdoors. As more people get involved in trapping, a pet ID could help return your pet if caught by accident. This month's article on micro-chipping will help you in selecting the best ID method for your needs.
August 18th is National Homeless Animal Day. Spread the word and lets find homes for all these kittens in need!
