Feral And Free Cat Sanctuary
Golden Paw Society's Adoption Center is also HOME to a group of feral cats who will live their lives in safety and comfort - with routine medical care, food, and shelter made just for feral cats!
Each of these cats has endured so much stress before coming to us. Most are survivors of neglect and abuse, and are therefore not able to trust humans. They literally have no place to go if not with us.
We do not intentionally take in feral cats, and we do not intake feral cats from the public.
When we visit the municipal shelters to rescue cats, we are there for the truly desperate ones. Because these are very often cats who are either frozen in terror or acting out in horror, we don't actually know what their true personalities and temperaments are and have sometimes gotten truly feral cats - cats who will not be coming around and magically transforming into happy house cats, no matter how much time and space we provide for them to decompress and feel safe with us.
For these cats, the truly feral ones, we've learned that we were actually doing them a disservice by keeping them cooped up in our Adoption Center. They enjoy the company of other cats but want to avoid humans at all costs.
Once we realized these cats were not going to be part of our adoption program, we had to find another way to help them.
Hence, our Feral And Free Cat Sanctuary.
Sanctuary: a place of refuge and protection
When we rescue any cat, we promise them a lifetime of love and care. Adoptable or not, these cats deserve shelter, food, special diets, medication, medical care, and anything else they require to enjoy the quality of life we feel all cats deserve!
Please consider sponsoring one of our FAF Sanctuary residents. Your love and kindness ensures we're able to provide care for our lifetime feral residents and continue to rescue those in need.
Take a look at their little faces below and see if there is one who catches your attention as someone you might like to help us care for.
