URGENT PLEA FOR HELP! UPDATE
Due to unusually high bills for vet care and medicines over the last six months and a significant decrease in adoptions and donations, we are faced with a critical cash short-fall.
Please consider a year-end or monthly donation, business sponsorship from your advertising/marketing budget, or a donation in honor of a pet-loving friend instead of a holiday gift.
THANK YOU SANTA FE! WE ARE CLOSE TO REACHING OUR GOAL OF $15,000. PLEASE HELP US.
We have placed over 200 cats into loving homes this year and sterilized over 100 more. Please help us continue our mission in 2010!

FOOD AND LITTER NEEDED!
We need donations of canned and dry food, clay or pine
litter, or gift cards with which we can purchase
much-needed supplies for our foster homes as well as
low-income families who ask for help with food so they
can keep their pets. Both Dog and Cat food welcome.
|
JOIN OUR GODPURRENT PROGRAM
FELINES & FRIENDS tries to help every needy cat, even
though many of them are considered
"non-adoptable" because of age, medical
condition or temperament. We attempt to find permanent
foster homes for these orphans and take care of them
food, veterinary care, litter, etc. for the rest of their
lives. Needless to say, our expenses far exceed our
income.
FELINES & FRIENDS Godpurrent Program provides funding
for the care of these cats. You can become a Godpurrent
to the cat of your choice for as little as $25.00 a
month. Your money goes directly to the care of that cat.
Your money is not used for administrative costs, postage
or salaries. In return for your generosity, FELINES &
FRIENDS Foster Family will send you anecdotes,
information and updates on the condition of your little
friend.
You're sponsorship is a tax deductible
charitable contribution. The Godpurrent Program is
perfect for those who wish to help, but cannot personally
take in a cat.

SUPPORT THE "LUCKY FUND"
In honor of the dog that was rescued last year and who
required several surgiers performed by Dr. Bob Gruda, we
have started The Lucky Fund so that we can have monies set
aside for the next dog or cat who needs life-saving
surgery. If you would like to help, please send a check to
our mailing address or donate on line and note that the
donation is for The Lucky Fund.

EMERGENCY! FOSTER HOMES NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!!
Due to the current economic downturn, adoptions of cats
and kittens have slowed down. These kitties need places
to live while they wait their turn for a loving home.
Please help them. Even if you travel or only live in
Santa Fe part time, you could enjoy the company of a cat
while you are in town.

FOSTER HOMES
We are a "shelterless" shelter!
This means that we rely 100% on foster homes in Santa Fe.
If you have room and in your heart and home for an extra
furry, please let us know. Even if you only live here 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.

HOW TO ADOPT
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR
PRE-ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK http://www.felinesandfriends.org/forms/preadopt.htm
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.
|
LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER IS AVAILABLE!
For an appointment, please call
Santa Fe Animal Shelter's Spay/Neuter Clinic at 474-6422
The clinic is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, as well as the first and third Thursdays and second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Vaccination clinics are held each Friday from 8 am to 11:30 am and 1 pm to 4 pm.
MOVING FORWARD FOR FELINES!
Thanks to the generous gift of an anonymous donor this program is designed to raise the profile of cats in our communities by helping to fund spay and neuter.
This fund will allow those who need it most to receive spay/neueter services for even less than our already-low prices. For only a $10 co-pay in most cases, owners can ensure that their cat stays healthier and doesn't increase the population of unwanted cats already filling our community by getting spayed or neutered in our high-quality clinic.
PLEASE NOTE: To take advantage of this offer if you qualify, please request it.Funds are limited each month, so act now!

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.

FELINES & FRIENDS CAN NOW ACCEPT
DONATIONS ON-LINE VIA PAYPAL

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 As a "Second Chance"
Organization, the NM Chapter of Felines & Friends works
with the Santa Fe and Espanola shelters by accepting 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.
To date, we have found homes for over 2,000 cats and dogs.
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.
