Felines & Friends urgently needs help with caring for cats and kittens. Santa Fe Cats is located on Tano Rd and is currently housing more rescues than paying clients. With virtually no income, staff were laid off but continue to care for the cats as volunteers.
If you love cats and want to get out of the house for a few hours and don’t mind scooping litter boxes, cleaning suites and feeding a dozen or so cats, please contact us at SantaFeCats@yahoo.com
Shifts are 9-12 and 3-6
COVID-19 safety is practiced, including masks and no public inside the building.

Mission Statement
To promote kind and humane treatment of all animals. To promote understanding of ownership and care of animals.

To educate the public as to the health and safety benefits of early spay/neuter. To provide low/no cost spay/neuter of cats and dogs. To facilitate Trap/Neuter/Release projects where members of the community are feeding stray animals. To promote the concept that each individual can make a difference.
Description
FELINES & FRIENDS was formed in mid 2002. has since helped save the lives of over 6,500 animals who have been placed into loving new homes. Working in conjunction with the Santa Fe Animal and Espanola Shelters, as well as area vets and individual rescuers, FELINES & FRIENDS provides an alternative for "special needs" and hard to place cats.
We accept cats of all ages. However, admission to our adoption program is limited to the number of available foster homes and there are times when we simply are not able to answer every call for help.
FELINES & FRIENDS never euthanizes an cat due to lack of space or because it has been with us "too long", nor do we transfer any animal to another shelter or organization where it is at risk. We believe that eventually, every animal will find a loving home. However, from time to time we do have to make the difficult decision to release a cat from pain or an incurable condition. We believe in the importance of "quality of life".
In 2021, FELINES & FRIENDS acquired Santa Fe Cats boarding hotel which provides additional housing when we don't have enough "foster homes" to house cats until they are placed. The group is always in need of people willing to share their home with a temporary feline. If you are interested in being a foster parent, please contact us immediately... we can never have too many.
