EMERGENCY! FOSTER HOMES NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!!
Wonderful adult cats are being overlooked for adoption because it is "kitten season"
These kitties need places to live while they wait their turn for a loving home. Please help them
We are still looking for three cats stolen from our Adoption Center at Petco on the following dates:
TITAN - 4/6/08; TOBY - 2/5/08; BENTLEY - 10/5/07
Police Reports have been filed and suspects are on surveillance cameras. Please contact us if you have any information. Our volunteers are heartbroken not knowing where they are!
PETCO on Cerrillos Rd is our permanent Adoption Center where cats are displayed throughout the week on a rotating basis.
"Adoption days" at PETCO from 12:00 noon - 3pm
1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month
2nd and 4th Sundays of each month

How You Can Help
FELINES & FRIENDS CAN NOW ACCEPT DONATIONS ON-LINE VIA PAYPAL
Felines & Friends received final determination as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2000 and received it Certificate of Authority from the NM PRC in 2002.
Award Winning Artist/Jeweler, Michelle Tapia has generously offered to donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of select pieces. To order, please visit

FOSTER HOMES: We are a "shelterless" shelter! This means that we rely 100% on foster homes. If you have room and in your heart and home for an extra furry, please let us know. Even if you live in Santa Fe part time, we would love to hear from you.
TRANSPORT: Do you commute between Santa Fe or Albuquerque and other cities? Would you be willing to take a cat as a "carry on". Except for Southwest Air, most airlines allow cats in carriers or Sherpa Bags; if you fly on a charter or your own plane... even better. Believe it or not, we sometimes find great homes for cats in other states, but need a safe way to transport them. Sending them in the cargo hold is not an option for us...it is just too traumatic and dangerous.
LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER IS AVAILABLE!

FOSTER HOMES & VOLUNTEERS NEEDED URGENTLY!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR PRE-ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK

IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO YOUR APPLICATION WITHIN 24 HOURS, PLEASE CALL 316-2281 OR E-MAIL US at askfelinesandfriends@yahoo.com IMMEDIATELY AS WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH OUR ON-LINE APPLICATION.
The minimum adoption donation we request is $100 and goes towards covering a check-up by our vet, FELV/FIV test, vaccinations, sterilization, deworming, microchip, collar & tag. It does not cover the cost of food and supplies while waiting for a new home and our overall cost of rescue is often far in excess of this amount.
THANK YOU TO OUR VETS!

AFFORDABLE SUPPLIES AVAILABLE FROM PHARMACA!
If you are supporting a cat or dog with renal failure by administering sub-q fluids, Pharmaca on Cordova Road (next to Trader Joe's) in Santa Fe is now offering 1000ml bags of both Lactated Ringers and Saline solutions, lines and needles at affordable prices. All you need is a prescription from your vet. In addition, they can compound a variety of medicines and their knowledgable staff can assist with remedies for allergies and much more.
FELINES & FRIENDS can also make prescription diet foods available at affordable prices. Our first concern is quality of life for companion animals and we do not need to make a profit on food like a veterinary clinic does. Please contact us for further information.
LOW COST SHOTS AVAILABLE FOR CATS AND DOGS
Our friend, Dr. Tod Obergfell is now offering vaccination packages at Petco in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. In Santa Fe low-cost shots are available at Petco from noon to 3pm the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Felines & Friends. For dates and times in Albuquerque, please call the respective Petco stores.
MICROCHIPPING NOW AVAILABLE! $30 (INCLUDES REGISTRATION)
Who We Are
The New Mexico Chapter of FELINES & FRIENDS was formed in 2001 following the relocation of the VP - Administration from Los Angeles to Santa Fe together with her husband and 5 cats. The California Chapter has a long and prestigious history, including formal recognition from Los Angeles City Council. For more information and to view a copy of the "Resolution", please visit www.felinesandfriends.org
The NM Chapter of Felines & Friends helps the Santa Fe and Espanola shelters by fostering special needs cats, such as kittens who are too young for placement or need to be socialized, and adults who have health or behavioral issues... most of which can be resolved with loving attention and time.
Felines & Friends relies solely on donations and 100% of funds collected are used for the vet care and supplies for the cats.
We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization and gratefully accept donations of any amount, which are tax deductible.
HAPPY TAILS

We leave adopted cats on our site because we have found that if someone who is looking for a cat to adopt likes the look or personality of one of these cats, we can often help make a match with another cat in need of a home at one of the shelters in our area.
