FOSTERING: THE CRITICAL LINK

We desperately need foster homes for our cats and kittens.

The number of animals we can help is limited only by the number of available foster homes. Please consider volunteering in this very rewarding capacity. find out more

Please encourage every pet owner you know to spay/neuter their pets!!

Did you know... for every cat spayed or neutered, 420,000 homeless kittens are prevented in just seven years? (And for every dog spayed or neutered, 67,000 homeless puppies are prevented in just six years...)

CAT HEALTH WARNING
LILIES & CATS: A FATAL COMBINATION

Almost all members of the lily family contain toxins that can be deadly to cats. Just a curious nibble, a lick of pollen from the fur, or even a sip from a vase can be enough to cause irreparable kidney damage and even death.

Signs of lily toxicity include vomiting, lethargy and appetite loss. Without prompt treatment by a vet, the cat will develop kidney failure in 36-72 hours.

Please don’t take chances—keep your beloved feline companions away from lilies! This notice is posted in honor of our miraculous White Nose, who survived a lily encounter, and in memory of beautiful Bella, and countless other kitty angels who did not.




Cats in our program reside at private homes of foster care givers and remain within our organization until a permanent home is found. We do not euthanize healthy cats.

Formed in 1995, the mission of the Feline Foundation of Greater Washington is to provide the necessary veterinary care for animals in our program, to find permanent, loving homes for them where they will be treated with love and respect for the rest of their lives, and to educate the public regarding responsible cat care.  We are a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 54-1749459).
