Volunteer
Volunteer time or resources to help us. There are lots of ways you can help homeless cats outside of adoption or fostering.
Foster
We are committed to finding foster care for cats, whether they are abandoned, neglected, homeless, and/or have special needs.
Adopt
Being small gives us the opportunity to know each cat – their personality, what they like to eat, and how they like to play.
Donate
Your monetary donations – which are tax deductible – enable Furry Friends to continue our rescue program and community outreach.
