When we take in a cat, it's until adoption or to care for them for the remainder of their lives.

When we take a cat into our care, we sometimes do not know what health issues the kitty might have until after it receives a complete medical examination by our Medical Director and Medical Assistant. It is not unusual for cats to come to us with minor issues such as flea infestations or ear mites. However, others might arrive with more serious issues such as diabetes, cancer, or renal failure.

We place cats with terminal or chronic illnesses in permanent foster care if we are unable to find the perfect adoptive home. Sponsorship for a cat in permanent foster care is an affordable way for us to cover the costs of each animal’s dietary and medical needs. We currently have seven cats in permanent foster care; five are seniors with serious, ongoing medical issues and two have severe cardiac issues. Furry Friends provides the food, litter and medical care the cats need, and the permanent foster volunteer provides the love and attention the cat deserves. It can cost several hundred dollars a month for medical and supplies for just one cat, and sponsorship is an easy way to help us provide for these extraordinary costs.
