All for cats that would otherwise slip under the radar, be neglected or simply be forgotten. And we believe its possible to do more.Our goal of spaying every unowned cat in Sonoma County may be lofty, but we believe in a county where every cat has a chance to thrive, isnt competing for resources, is not seen as a nuisance, and has the best possible chance for a contented life.We have created an innovative, first-of-its-kind spay-neuter program that uses predictive modeling, data capture, and analysis. Along with the blood, sweat, and tears of a dedicated staff and volunteer force, we are significantly slowing the rate of cats born in the wild and our communities. We will continue innovating and implementing until the day we live in a county where there are no more homeless cats.ServicesOur spay & neuter clinics - Making a differenceEvery single cat that is spayed or neutered makes a big difference.One cat spayed or neutered now, can prevent 11,801 kittens from being born over 5 years.Forgotten Felines operates weekly spay & neuter clinics for unowned feral, unowned community, and unowned stray cats.4759 cats were seen at our Spay and Neuter Clinics in 2023 and we surpassed a major milestone of more than 50,000 cats alterered since we began.The service provided to our clients at our Spay & Neuter Clinics includes: Altering for male or female Rabies Vaccine FVRCP Vaccine Microchipping Ear tipping for identification Treatment for all visible parasites Overall health check Treatment for visible injuries or illness. Pain Management Individual attention A dose of loveWe ask for a $50 donation for a spay and neuter appointment. The remaining cost is subsidized by generous donors.Our goal of spaying every unowned cat in Sonoma County may be lofty, but we believe in a county where every cat has a chance to thrive, isnt competing for resources, is not seen as a nuisance and has the best possible chance for a contented life.Our focus on innovative, first-of-its-kind spay-neuter programs that use predictive modeling, data capture and analysis, along with the blood, sweat and tears of a dedicated staff and volunteer force to significantly slow the rate of cats born in the wild, on our streets and on properties where they may not be welcome will continue and we will one day live in a county where there are no more homeless cats. Foster/AdoptionOur Foster & Adoption Program has continued to flourish under a Foster to Adopt model.Our Foster to Adopt model allows cats to move directly from a Foster Home to a Forever Home without a shelter stay allowing for less stressful environment changes with the added benefit of getting cats into full time homes more quickly. In 2023, 418 cats were adopted.Our adoptees came to us from a variety of sources:Kittens born in the wild They were born into colonies too large without enough resources for the colonies to thrive. The kittens were trapped, tamed down through the foster program, altered, microchipped, vaccinated and went up for adoption to find new homes.Stray tame cats without caretakers These cats were pulled off the streets, altered, assessed in foster homes and adopted to new homesLocal shelter transfers These are cats that for whatever reason are not adoptable by shelter standards and are transferred to us, assessed in foster homes and go up for adoption or relocation. Our adoption co-pay is $100.00Cat Relocation Program We call them Wine Country Barn CatsIn 2023 we relocated 111 cats.While Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County practices a method of humanely curbing cat overpopulation called Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) where cats are altered, vaccinated, given medical attention, microchipped, ear tipped for visual identification and returned to where they live, sometimes where they live is not a safe place for a variety of reasons.Such as... A dangerous living situation Habitat being destroyed by construction A caretaker has moved or passed away Kittens that were unable to be tamed And, other circumstances where the life of the cat is in jeopardy or the quality of life will be diminishedThese cats are pulled and become Wine Country Barn Cats where they are relocated to properties where they can work, be cared for, looked out for, and lead happier, healthy lives.A co-pay of $50.00 is requested for this serviceColony Care and Management It takes a villageForgotten Felines manages the care of over 200 cats in over 50 colonies and has provided over 6000 pounds of food to colonies in Sonoma County in 2023.Colony Caretakers work together in teams to make sure someone each day, rain or shine, is putting fresh food and water out for their colony.They keep an eye on the health of the colony. If a cat gets sick or injured, they arrange for the cat to get a health check at our spay neuter clinic.They keep an eye out for newcomers. If a new cat wanders in, they trap the cat, bring to a clinic, it gets scanned for a microchip to make sure it is not displaced, it is neutered and released again to the colony if no owner has been located. While a displaced adult cat may wander in once in a while, there are no new kittens in a Forgotten Felines managed colony. 1396644 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 41 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false true true false false CA X Francisco Marquez de la Plata 7075767999 1820 Empire Industrial Ct Ste E Santa Rosa CA 954031966 Francisco Marquez De La Plata Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 85047 0 0 Jennifer Kirchner President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Ostrem Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barb Lester Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Simons Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Richardson Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chico Sumpf Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Harris Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 85047 0 false false false 0 340832 974961 24000 1315793 Other income 14855 14855 14855 88947 219 88728 0 0 0 0 88789 21191 67598 0 1479505 1479505 1479505 0 2966698 1494579 88728 0 0 0 0 85047 76542 4253 4252 0 1273045 543602 104689 624754 0 149511 69507 14853 65151 113070 51406 8874 52790 0 0 18908 15539 3369 0 0 0 16556 16556 27624 25322 2302 57128 7560 27050 22518 6765 2500 3056 1209 0 250621 76187 9639 164795 0 0 0 0 0 45884 40998 4886 7142 4863 2279 Pet food and other program sup 257954 257768 186 veterinary services and relate 237587 237587 Bank charges 27359 63 2743 24553 Volunteer Program 23605 11546 6902 5157 29171 16515 9435 3221 2626977 1396644 256262 974071 443050 757540 356392 354902 0 0 0 0 0 0 5978 1154559 372812 753352 781747 970707 1069539 0 0 0 194334 363857 2717835 3333563 60805 137052 362688 60805 499740 X 2657030 2833823 2657030 2833823 2717835 3333563 X 339721 93582 9811 -266321 X false true X true false X 538358 368018 620921 1128834 1315793 3971924 0 0 538358 368018 620921 1128834 1315793 3971924 0 3971924 30089 28967 36830 29430 88947 214263 0 0 4186187 0.94880 0.94920 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 105000 105000 209750 41461 168289 582996 135587 447409 256813 195764 61049 781747 Community Fund Deposts 2404 Right of Use Asset 361450 Rounding 3 363857 lease liabilities 362688 362688 X 3050469 93582 93582 2956887 9811 9811 2966698 2626977 2626977 2626977 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
