People often see the cute adoption photos. They don’t always see this part.
Every bowl on this table is made for a specific cat. Medications, supplements, prescription diets, probiotics, fiber, appetite stimulants, special additives, syringe feedings, and whatever else that individual cat needs to stay healthy and continue healing.
What looks like a table full of cat food is actually hours of work.
Many of the cats in our care aren’t simply waiting for homes. They’re recovering from illness, gaining weight, managing chronic conditions, healing from injuries, or receiving treatment that gives them a chance at the happy, healthy future they deserve.
We know it can be frustrating when you don’t get an immediate response to your text, email, or Facebook message. The reality is that this is what our days often look like.
Forgotten Felines Rescue is entirely volunteer run. Our officers all have full time jobs, and when we’re at the rescue, our priority is the animals already in our care. Feeding, medicating, cleaning, monitoring, vet appointments, intake evaluations, laundry, litter boxes, and everything in between takes up the majority of our time.
So if it takes us a little while to get back to you, please know we’re not ignoring you. We’re probably standing at a table just like this one, making sure a cat gets the care they need.
Rescue is so much more than adoptions. It’s the behind-the-scenes work that happens every single day, whether anyone sees it or not.
And thanks to our volunteers, fosters, donors, and supporters, we’re able to keep showing up and doing it.
If you’ve ever wondered how you can help, we’re always looking for dedicated volunteers to join our team. Whether it’s helping with daily care, cleaning, feeding, socializing cats, events, or transport, every helping hand makes a difference.
