Volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines!
Our Mission
Friends of Feral Felines (FoFF) is an all-volunteer organization caring for feral cat colonies in southern Maine since 1993. Our mission is to humanely reduce the number of feral cats in our communities through trapping, neutering, and then releasing the cats back to their colony sites. We provide the colonies with food and water regularly and monitor them for new, sick, or injured members who might need medical attention. In time, the colony's population shrinks due to lack of reproduction.
Giving Cats Their Best Chance
Some colonies include kittens who, with care in a foster home, may become adoptable.
Even some adults may be naturally more sociable and can be fostered and then adopted.
If the cats cannot return to their colony site (property owners may refuse to allow the cats back, or the site may be unsafe), or the situation involves only one or two cats, FoFF works to place the cats in barns, where they earn their keep as mousers and the barn owner serves as colony manager.
How You Can Help
The process of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) requires ongoing commitment from volunteers who feed, monitor, and manage colonies; transport cats to and from the veterinarian; foster cats during their recovery or before their adoption; and raise funds to support the need for food, litter, supplies, and veterinary services.
If you'd like to support FoFF's efforts through volunteering, please take a look at the various volunteer opportunities available and fill out an application. We'll train you in your chosen volunteer job(s), assign you an ongoing mentor, and put you to work with a wonderful team for a great cause.
Thank you for offering your time as a volunteer for FoFF.
We look forward to working with you!
