Feline Rescue, Inc. is a Minnesota based no-kill companion cat rescue organization. Our founders established Feline Rescue in 1997 in Minneapolis, MN as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an all volunteer organization, with no paid staff. We are funded exclusively through donations and grants. We receive no municipal, state, or federal funding.
We provide rescue and relief to the homeless and endangered cats in our community through programs that offer shelter, foster, social and medical rehabilitation, feral and stray management, spay/neuter subsidy, and community education.
Our mission is to provide safe shelter, veterinary care, and socialization for stray, abandoned, or abused cats until good permanent homes can be found for them. Our mission does not enable us to accept owner surrendered animals.

The Pioneer Press recently featured a story about the difficulties faced by animal rescue organizations due to recent economic conditions. The compounding issues of more stray animals, more unemployed people, home forclosures, and fewer donations are discussed in the article. Feline Rescue Spay/Neuter and Outreach volunteer Vickie Lachelt provided insight from Feline Rescue's perspective. Update: The story is no longer available online, but there is a copy at the adoption center pinned to the update board if you are interested in reading it. |

 At Feline Rescue, there are many pairs of cats who have either bonded during their time with us or arrived as a pair. We would like to do everything possible to keep these pairs together, respecting family ties or even just the strong bond between best buds or playmates. Being alone in the world can be scary - read on to see how you can do your part to help our rescued cats face the world together, eight paws at a time!
While adopting one cat may be fun, nobody can deny that there are benefits to adopting pairs of cats. First of all, they may have an easier time adjusting to a new home environment. Having one's best buddy or a family member to lean on can be a huge comfort when confronting new situations. Then, once they have settled down and made themselves at home, they will have a built-in playmate! A lonely kitty is a sad kitty, and there's nothing better to keep a cat occupied than having another cat to romp with or to clean those hard-to-reach patches of fur (have you ever tried to lick the top of your head?). Pairs of cats can also provide more than double the entertainment of one cat alone, so get your camera ready! |
