Welcome!
Feline Rescue is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in northern Sonoma County where there is a high percentage of economically disadvantaged residents. Pet cats, often not spayed or neutered, are abandoned with alarming frequency due, in growing part, to the declining economy and skyrocketing foreclosures and evictions. We also have a burgeoning number of "roaming" feral or semi-feral cats, also not spayed or neutered.
There are absolutely no institutional services available for cats in need in our area. There is no local shelter, no contract with Sonoma County for cats, and no local city services for injured or ill cats. We are a "shelter without walls" and "animal control with a heart," operating with a tiny budget and no paid staff or administrative overhead.
Featured Cat of the Week!
Gimlet
DOB(Approx.): 3/10/11
Sex: Female
Breed Mix: DSH (Black with some faint Tabby stripes)
Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, complete vet exam
Gimlet is extremely beautiful, even regal. Her blue/black shiny coat and her exquisite bone structure add to her stunning appearance. She has gold eyes and faint Tabby "shadow stripes" on her legs.
Gimlet was rescued with her siblings months ago. She was the shyest kitten in the litter, but we never gave up on pretty Gimlet! Foster mom Carol worked with Gimlet for several weeks, and, since then, Gimlet has been Shay's project kitten (now teenage cat). A recent breakthrough was when Gimlet actually jumped into Shay's lap to be held and petted!
Gimlet is still on the shy side but warms easily and now actually SEEKS affection and will curl into your lap and stay there to be cuddled and petted. What progress! The ideal home for Gimlet would be one with a patient human who will help Gimlet transition to her new surroundings and give her lots of love. Gimlet gets along perfectly with the resident cats and, in fact, she's taken on a "mama" role to the young foster kittens. (We have not tested Gimlet with a dog. She should do well around gentle children, so long as the environment isn't raucous.)
Gimlet's foster mom Shay writes: "All Gimlet needs is a gentle and loving person to give her a forever home. In return, you will have a loyal and loving friend for life!"
