Overview

Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Our mission is to protect and care for homeless and unwanted animals by providing medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption within a safe, no-kill environment. We are committed to fighting animal cruelty, educating the public on responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter, and basic animal care, and supporting the rehabilitation of wildlife.

We have only just begun — and we need your support. Our vision is bold to build California’s first fully solar-powered, 65-acre no-kill sanctuary, serving as overflow for city and county shelters while assisting traditional rescues with critical medical care and foster programs. We are currently fundraising to purchase land and build safe, permanent homes where animals can heal, thrive, and live in healthy surroundings until they are adopted.

This sanctuary will protect vulnerable lives and give every animal the chance to reach their full potential. Together, we can turn empty cages into forever homes. 🐾💚

Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary (FFAS) is a nonprofit organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place for the animals that do not have homes and have medical issues and disabilities. FFAS partners with City, County and local residences to take in cats with severe special needs, disabilities or facing homelessness on the streets and house them in our facility.

Once they are at our sanctuary, our staff and fosters care for the cats and kittens, working towards getting them the best medical care, rehab and love. Some are not adoptable, but many are and so we get them ready for adoption. They stay with us until they find their furever homes and as our cats are adopted, we reach out to our partners to bring us more cats and kittens thus being a part of the solution to saving our community cats.

Volunteers are vital to our operations here at FFAS. We continually seek to expand our programs with volunteer support. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations and volunteer efforts to help us achieve our goals and saving our communities at risk cats. Join us today and assist in building our team of volunteers!
