Our office is open Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Our Spay/Neuter Clinics generally are held every Monday and Wednesday with an occasional Thursday clinic some months.
We ask for a donation of $50 per wild cat that you must trap and bring to us. We are happy to loan you a trap and we'll give you detailed instructions on how to operate it.
If we send one of our trappers to the location to trap the cat, we ask for a donation of $100 per cat.
Please call our office if you have any questions or concerns about pricing.
These donations are not even a fraction of what the procedures cost us but we appreciate the help.
No.We are not a pet hospital. We are not a traditional shelter. We are not a rescue. Please bring the injured or sick feline to your nearest emergency animal/pet hospital immediately for care. We do not have veterinarians onsite so we cannot assist with a sick or injured cats here.
Unowned/unhomed/stray/wild/colony cats– by whatever name you refer to them– are not people’s pets and therefore do not reliably get access to life-saving medical care. This includes alteration (spay/neuter), vaccinations, flea treatments, microchips, and routine wellness check. For many cats who come through our doors, this may be the only time they ever get this medical attention.
Please visit our website page on Volunteering to complete a volunteer application and get started. Our biggest need right now for volunteer help is in Trapping and Fostering. Both come with training so don’t be afraid to reach out and learn more!

As we are not a rescue or a traditional shelter, we cannot accept cats for rehoming. If you need to rehome a cat, please visit our Rehome a Cat resource page at forgottenfelines.com/rehome-a-cat. We've compiled helpful information, rehoming tips, and local resources to assist you in finding the best possible outcome for the cat. In many cases, reaching out to friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and community networks can also help connect cats with loving new homes.Keep in mind that rehoming can be very stressful for cats, as they are deeply attached to familiar people, routines, and environments. Before deciding to rehome, explore all available alternatives and consider whether someone the cat already knows may be able to provide temporary or permanent care. Whenever possible, remaining connected to familiar people and surroundings helps ensure the best outcome for the cat's long-term well-being.
