With the advent of Halloween, unfortunately,
there are a few who use this time of "tricks and treats" to perpetrate cruelty/abuse on black cats and other innocent pets. We STRONGLY recommend that
for your pet's safety, especially black cats, that you plan to confine him/her
to a safe and quiet place. The noise and constant traffic of "trick or treaters",
can, even for the most complacent of pets, become a frightening and/or
confusing experience. FFF wishes you and your pet(s) |
OUR FEATURED CAT...MAYA |
Due to our policy of not adopting out black cats before October 31st, Maya will be available for adoption on November 1st.Close up of Maya. Maya came to FFF through our S.O.L Program for at-risk cats/kittens. (see her S.O.L. story below). Named because of her resilience after Maya Angelou, she has grown from a sickly, shy kitty, to a plucky, active, and independent girl.
Slowly, despite all odds and with emergency medical interventions. the kitten began to stabilize and then to grow ... and then to walk! Our MAYA finished her Rise and is ready where can find that special home that can appreciate her struggle and give her a forever home.
Currently, our Maya has grown into a quiet, slightly shy adult kitty. She is grown in her confidence, prefers a quiet adult home, and once acquainted with her new person(s) and environment, we think she will adjust nicely. Maya playing peek-a-boo.
She might be a good companion for a quiet, adult home or a senior.

F.F.F. Policies |
Adopting a FriendAn interview, application and home visit, followed by a 5-7 day trial visit of the selected pet in the prospective adoptive home. An Animal Care Adoption Contract is required to be signed by the adopter and a FFF representative, and a recovery/adoption fee is tenderedThe adopter(s) must be of legal age to sign a legal contract.
Special circumstance adoptions are available for eligible adopters. Micro-ChippingIn an effort to provide our FFF graduates,
their families, and our dedicated F.F.F. fosters/staff with peace of
mind, we are exploring micro chipping all of our adoptees. This will provide a safety
net for our formerly friendless felines that go on to their new homes. AppointmentsWe show our cats by appointments at your home. Appointments can be made with FFF through our HAVE CAT WILL TRAVEL Program, (925) 808-8364. Availability of the cats or kittens for appointment depends on the availability of the foster and transportation arrangements. If you see a cat or kitten you are interested in on our website, contact Sally via our email or by phone to check on the availability of that cat or kitten for evening appointments. Adoption CriteriaAs a rule, F.F.F. prefers not to offer kittens
until all veterinary test results are normal. All F.F.F. cats
and kittens are combo tested for feline AIDS and feline Leukemia prior
to adoption. Therefore, we will not release any cat or kitten for adoption
until we can be assured of an accurate test result. We will not knowingly adopt any cat or kitten into your home that we wouldn't place in our own homes. We appreciate your understanding. |
