Feline Good Animal Rescue

Compassion for cats. Care for our community.

Our Mission

Feline Good Animal Rescue is dedicated to the well-being of cats in Lane County. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for cats in need. We promote responsible pet ownership, advocate for feline welfare, and support feral cat colonies.

At Feline Good Animal Rescue, we’re a small, all-volunteer team of people who love cats and want to make a difference in their lives. We focus primarily on Eugene, but sometimes lend a helping hand in surrounding areas.

We don’t have a shelter, so our cats depend on our amazing foster homes to give them a safe place to land until they’re ready for adoption. We help verified strays and owner surrenders get the veterinary care they need, including vaccinations, microchips, and spay/neuter services, before finding them loving forever homes.

But we don’t stop at adoption! Through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), we help prevent unwanted litters and improve the lives of free-roaming cats in our community.

We’re a small team with big hearts, and we couldn’t do what we do without the support of our volunteers, fosters, donors, and community. Every cat we help makes a difference, and we’re so glad you’re here to be part of it!

Help save lives

Why do we need fosters?

There are several possible reasons:

Foster care can help save a cat when our other fosters are full.
Momma cats need a quiet safe space to nurse their kittens and help them grow big and strong.
Orphaned newborn kittens need to be nursed or bottle-fed and usually need foster care.
Injured or sick cats need time to recover before adoption.

These animals need some extra love and care before they can be adopted. Providing foster care for a few days, weeks, or months can be a lifesaving gift for an animal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will it take?

The specific needs of the animal will determine how much time is involved. Newborn kittens are cared for mostly by their mom but still need a quiet space and a lot of attention. A frightened cat who needs socialization will also require some extra time. You can discuss your availability with us to determine which cat you’ll be best suited for you to foster.

What skills are needed?

It’s best to have some knowledge about companion animal behavior and health. We are available to answer any questions you may have. Some of the animals most in need of foster care are those that require a little extra help. Shy cats often need time to learn to trust and the quiet of a home environment. Just by getting to know the animal, you’ll help us learn more about her personality prior to adoption.

What else is requred?

A quiet and safe room separate from other pets in your house is required. A clean litter box and fresh water should be available at all times. If needed, Feline Good Animal Rescue can provide food and litter. If your foster cat needs to be seen by a veterinarian, Feline Good Animal Rescue will coordinate transportation if needed.

What about my own pets?

For the safety of your pets and your foster(s), it’s important to keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.

Will I have to find a home for the animal myself?

Feline Good Animal Rescue takes full responsibility for finding a new home, though you can help by telling friends, family, and co-workers about your foster pet.

What about when it's time to say good-bye?

Giving up a cat or a litter of kittens you’ve fostered, even to a wonderful new home, can be difficult emotionally. Feline Good Animal Rescue does follow up with each and every adopter, and we ask that they send updated pictures of the kitties in their new homes.

Sometimes a foster home turns into a permanent home (AKA “foster failurel). That’s why we are always on the lookout for new foster homes!
