At Feral Friends, we have three vital programs that work in unison to offer assistance to cats and kittens in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex: the Race to Reduce Litters (Feral), Rescue and Rehome (Adoption) and the Lost Cat Recovery Program.

Feral Friends was founded in 1998, incorporated in the state of Texas in 1999 and granted its 501(c)(3) status in 2000. It was founded to provide assistance to forgotten cats that are rarely seen or thought of and yet need our help just as much as any creature in need.

Through our feral program, known as the Race to Reduce Litters (4,348 feral cats assisted since 2002), we provide the necessary tools for concerned individuals to assist feral cats. The program promotes TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) as the method of management and provides the necessary tools for effective action - education, support, low-cost services, convenient locations and humane traps.

Feral Friends’ adoption program, Rescue and Rehome (4,764 domesticated cats rescued since 1998), provides foster care until we find permanent, loving homes for the cats and kittens in our system. Cats and kittens in this program are domesticated but displaced, and typically come from the following sources: (1) the feral program (domesticated cats trapped with feral colonies), (2) kittens born to feral and stray mothers, (3) local shelters and (4) owners who can no longer care for them.

Through our Lost Cat Recovery Program (45 displaced cats recovered since 2003), we offer education and support to individuals whose indoor-only cats have gone missing. This unique program utilizes the techniques developed by Kat Albrecht and increases the chance of recovery from a dismal 15% to an astonishing 75%.

To provide proactive assistance to feral cats to ensure they have an opportunity for a safe, healthy existence and be the link to permanent loving homes for the domesticated cats we rescue.
