Friends of Forgotten Feline
Our Mission
At Friends of Forgotten Feline, the wellbeing of the feral cat community is at the forefront of what we strive to protect. Our 501(c)3 organization is dedicated to the care and health of our fairground cats. We aim to reduce the amount of abandoned cats by executing a TNR program, or "Trap, Neuter, Release." By making sure all cats are spayed or neutered we can ensure our colony stays healthy and manageable. Our goal is to provide daily feedings, loving care, and dependable shelter to all our cats.

“I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.”
