About FieldHaven Feline Center
Using a multi-faceted approach to helping cats and people in need, FieldHaven Feline Center saves and enhances the lives of 1,000s of cat each year. From tiny kittens to ferals to end-of-life care, we have programs to offer solutions to many of the challenges facing cats in our society. There are three primary locations for operations.
In the 18+ years since FieldHaven's inception we have had a powerful effect on our communities' cats and residents. That effect encompasses every aspect of cats in our lives-from rescuing a litter of tiny kittens who mother is lost to helping a senior citizen navigating a transition to assisted living who wants to keep their beloved kitty with them, FieldHaven is there for cats and their people throughout their lives.
We are innovative, tenacious, compassionate and will stop at nothing to help cats. Learn more about how we support our community at www.fieldhaven.com. Our motto is: A solution for every cat!
