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.

It has been an exciting few months for our rescue group. Specifically, in September we had the PetExpo where we adopted out 13 cats and kittens during the three-day event. We also adopted out an additional 3 kittens outside of the event, making our total for the weekend 16! This is an awesome number of adoptions and far exceeds anything we have done to date. I would like to
thank all the volunteers who helped make this event such a great success and put up with the long hours.
October marks the long awaited kick off of Operation SNYP. This is our version of a no-cost spay and neuter program initially for Folsom residents. This program will run as long as funds are available in an effort to spay and neuter as many unaltered animals as possible. We will not be covering
feral cats under this program since they can be altered for free under the Feral Cat Altering Program (FCAP). Depending on the initial response we may expand this program to surrounding areas but let's not get carried away yet. We will be targeting key areas this month to promote this program by placing flyers door to door. Also this month, we will be participating in the Harvest Faire at Sunrise Mall. This is a one day event, Saturday the 20th, running from 10am to 9pm with about 1 hour set up time before and after. If you can help assist in either of these volunteer opportunities please contact us.
