Friends of Felines is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization dedicated to reduce the overpopulation of feral cats in our community by working with committed caretakers through a trap/spay neuter/vaccinate and return program.

Friends of Felines, a local organization  is in desperate need of new volunteers and community support.  Organized in 1996, Friends of Felines caretakers and volunteers have trapped, spayed/neutered, and released back to their colonies over 4,000 feral cats, thereby preventing the birth of tens of thousands of unwanted, homeless kittens.

But volunteers come and go, with the demands of life, homes, families, and jobs.  Right now we are at an all-time low for active volunteers to help the cats.  We are asking for anyone who loves animals and has as little as 2 (two) hours a month to spare for a great cause to contact Friends of Felines about volunteer opportunities.  We need volunteers to help with writing newsletter articles, hands-on work at spay/neuter clinics, Azalea Festival, Riverfest, Paw Jam and other fundraisers and educational/informational events.

Please call for more information:  910.452.6721, or contact via our website at www.friendsofelines.org.

They are the "wild" offspring of domestic cats that are primarily the result of pet owners' abandonment or failure to spay/neuter their cats, allowing them to breed uncontrolled. Many of these kittens will never have contact with humans and will eventually become fearful of them. These feral cats band together to become colonies.

The perfect gift for kids who love cats!
