We pair innovation with compassion so that Sonoma County can be a place where every cat has the best possible chance at a safe, stable, and healthy life.Our Spay & Neuter Clinics Making a DifferenceEvery single cat that is spayed or neutered makes a big difference. In 2024, 5,085 cats came through our spay/neuter clinics for alterations and medical care. Of those, 4,326 cats were spayed or neutered. Each one of those surgeries prevents future litters, reduces pressure on colonies and caretakers, and lowers the number of kittens entering the system.Forgotten Felines operates 2 or 3 spay & neuter clinics for cats each week. The service provided to our Spay & Neuter Clinics includes:Altering for male or femaleRabies vaccineFVRCP vaccineMicrochippingEar tipping for identificationTreatment for visible parasitesOverall health checkTreatment for visible injuries or illnessPain managementIndividual attention and a dose of loveWe ask for a donation of $50 to help offset the cost of a spay/neuter appointment; the remaining cost is subsidized by our generous donors and community partners.Foster & Adoption ProgramOur Foster & Adoption Program continues to flourish under a foster-to-adopt model that allows cats to move directly from a foster home to a forever home without a shelter stay. This keeps stress low, shortens the path to adoption, and makes room for the next cat in need.In 2024, 435 cats were adopted directly through Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County. These were kittens born in the wild who were tamed and socialized, tame strays with no caretakers, and cats transferred to us for a second chance.In addition, 133 cats were pulled by Forgotten Felines and adopted through our partner shelters. This reflects our strong, ongoing collaborations with local agencies to ensure that every friendly, healthy cat has a path to a home.Cat Relocation Program Barn and Garden CatsWhile our preferred method to humanely curb cat overpopulation is TrapNeuterReturn (TNR), sometimes returning a cat to its original location is not safe or humane. In those cases, we place unsocial or at-risk cats through our Wine Country Barn Cats program.In 2024, 82 unsocial, at-risk, or displaced cats were safely relocated to working and sanctuary-style homes, barns, wineries, ranches, and businesses where they can live protected, be cared for, and provide natural rodent control. These placements are often for cats whose caretaker has moved or passed away, whose habitat is being demolished, or who simply cannot remain where they were living.A modest co-pay helps us cover transport, supplies, and follow-up to make sure placements are successful.Colony Care and Management It Takes a VillageForgotten Felines continues to support managed colonies across Sonoma County. In 2024, we provided food, trapping support, medical care, and education to volunteer caretakers who show up every day rain or shine to feed and monitor their colonies.We supported more than 50 colonies and delivered well over 6,000 pounds of food again this year to stabilize existing colonies, keep cats healthy, and make it possible to trap newcomers for altering and return.Our caretakers keep an eye out for newcomers. If a new cat appears, it is trapped, scanned for a microchip, altered, vaccinated, and either returned to the colony or reunited with an owner when possible. This is how we prevent new kittens from entering well-managed colonies.Innovation: Project BeaconIn 2024 we advanced Project Beacon, our first-of-its-kind, data-driven mapping and predictive modeling platform for humane cat population management. Beacon integrates historical and real-time data - colony size, alteration status, geography, and reproductive trends to help us see where interventions will have the greatest impact.Beacon will allow us to: track altered vs. unaltered cats in real time; identify high-yield trapping zones for mass spay/neuter events; demonstrate impact and return on investment to funders and community partners; and share a model that can be replicated by other TNR organizations.This innovation moves us closer to a measurable, county-wide decline in unowned cats.Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County remains the longest-running TNR organization in the country. With the support of donors, volunteers, veterinarians, partner shelters, and colony caretakers, we are making real, measurable progress toward a Sonoma County where no cat is forgotten. 1527092 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 25 0 true 43 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 108051 0 0 Jennifer Kirchner Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Ostrem Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barb Lester President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Simons Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Richardson Director 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 108051 1 false false false 0 1232404 16550 1232404 Other income 13368 13368 13368 150935 75996 74939 0 0 0 0 21980 2626 19354 0 1514608 1514608 1514608 0 2930669 1603972 74939 0 0 0 0 108051 97246 5403 5402 0 1418265 636996 119890 661379 0 169783 55363 36263 78157 122678 60447 8651 53580 0 0 53017 3744 45530 3743 0 0 0 36329 36329 15348 933 11149 3266 64710 8556 27240 28914 11162 194 9478 1490 0 290009 62984 27204 199821 0 0 0 0 0 45884 42866 2256 762 12711 4781 7930 Pet food and other program sup 276118 275904 214 veterinary services and relate 247698 247698 Bank charges 29267 120 3001 26146 Volunteer Program 27300 13418 13606 276 29704 15842 -936 14798 2958034 1527092 353208 1077734 757540 975684 354902 76702 0 0 0 0 0 0 5978 15554 1158162 416799 781747 741363 1069539 1163300 0 0 0 363857 225423 3333563 3198026 137052 175462 362688 227278 499740 402740 X 2833823 2795286 2833823 2795286 3333563 3198026 -27365 -22344 11172 X false true X true false X 368018 620921 1128834 1315793 1232404 4665970 0 0 368018 620921 1128834 1315793 1232404 4665970 0 4665970 28967 36830 29430 88947 74939 259113 0 0 4925083 0.94740 0.94880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 105000 105000 209750 47871 161879 582996 157041 425955 260416 211887 48529 741363 Deposts 2404 Right of Use Asset 223019 225423 lease liabilities 227278 227278 X 2922123 2922123 11172 -2626 8546 2930669 2960660 2626 2626 2958034 2958034 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
