This program combats animal abuse, neglect, and unnecessary euthanasia by rescuing hundreds of homeless dogs and cats. We place rescued animals into volunteer foster homes where they are cared for until they find their forever-home and cats & kittens are available for adoption at the Thrift Store. AnimalSave pays for all veterinary care and food & supplies while the animals are in foster care. If you are interested in fostering or adopting a dog or cat, visit our Foster Information page, for details or call Debra at (530) 271-7071 ext. 204 for more information.
A feral cat is either a cat who has lived his/her whole life with little or no human contact and is not socialized, or is a stray cat who was lost or abandoned and has lived away from human contact long enough to revert to a wild state. Feral cats avoid human contact and cannot be touched by strangers. For more information about feral cats, click here.
AnimalSave's Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program pays for feral cat spay/neuter and vaccination. TNR is a proven procedure in which entire colonies of stray and feral cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered and vaccinated. This method of population control is more effective than trap-and-kill. Kittens and tame cats can be adopted into good homes. Adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their colony. AnimalSave provides humane traps, trapping guidance and can help with transporting animals. For more information about AnimalSave's TNR program call at 271-7071 x206. If you leave a message, someone will return your call promptly. AnimalSave sometimes has outside, unsocialized cats that would love a barn or garage to call home. They need a dry, safe place to sleep, as well as cat food and water. A truly feral cat will probably never tolerate being petted. However, they do learn to trust and will stay close-by if given adequate time to acclimate. They can provide non-toxic rat and mouse control around your home or farm. They are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and have tested negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. If you are interested in giving a couple of feral cats a caring outside home, please call us at 271-7071 ext 206 for more info.AnimalSave relies on its HelpLine team to disseminate information about our thrift store, donations, volunteering, pet care, emergency veterinary calls, financial assistance, and our programs.
