Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County

Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County

Our Mission

Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County is dedicated to the compassionate goal of spaying and neutering every unowned cat in our community. We are committed to creating a future where every cat has a chance to thrive in a contented, healthy life.

Who We Are

Founded in 1990, we are the nation's longest-running Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) organization. For over three decades, we have served as guardians and advocates for the most vulnerable unowned felines in Sonoma County, working tirelessly to reduce overpopulation and improve animal welfare.

Our Care Model

We are not a shelter or a rescue; instead, we operate through a dedicated network of volunteer foster homes. This foster-based model ensures that our cats and kittens receive an extra dose of socialization and love in a home environment before joining your family. By avoiding a traditional shelter setting, we provide each cat with a more personal, stress-free transition to their forever home.

Adopting Your New Companion

We believe in building lifelong partnerships between people and cats. Our adoption program focuses on finding the perfect match, whether you are seeking a tame family companion or a working cat for your barn or garden. Because our cats live in foster homes, we carefully review applications to ensure each placement is a success for both the adopter and the feline.

Join Our Mission

We invite you to make a difference by welcoming a rescued cat into your home. Please visit our website to explore our currently available felines and complete an adoption application to begin your journey. Together, we can ensure every cat in Sonoma County finds the safety and comfort they deserve.
