PORCHE
Porche is a beautiful 3 to 4 year old female, and very, very shy. She's also very sleepy. She crawls up under blankets or sheets and sleeps like a baby all day. No one ever sees her until it's time to be fed, or time for an occassional cuddle, which interestingly, she asks for!
Porsche is available to be fostered by a very special foster home, or if you'd like to sponsor her, we'll keep you posted on her progress!
For more information, please contact us at cats@adoptapet.org Thank you.

JULIE
My name is Julie. I guess I had a stroke but other than being tipped a little to the right, it's not a big deal at all to me! I may never get a home of my own because of it, but truthfully, I'm happy enough right here in my foster home. All the other cats know to stay away from me when it's time to eat, I can still run up the stairs, there's always someone here to stratch my back - it's so much better than being outside on my own taking care of kittens and wondering where my next meal is coming from!
If you'd like to help by becoming Julie's sponsor, please contact us at cats@adoptapet.org

A Volunteer's Story
I showed up on their doorstep needing a home. Friends of Felines welcomed me in and found me one. And, now, I have a family. This could be a homeless cat story — one of many more than we would care to count — but it’s not.
It’s my story. My name is Melissa: I am a work–from–home employee. Although I generally enjoy this arrangement, I do miss the social camaraderie of an office environment. As two cats, Latte and Jasper, currently grace my life, I thought volunteering for an animal rescue organization would allow me to give something back to my community while increasing my social contact. I’m now a volunteer for Friends of Felines, a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to helping homeless cats — both feral and friendly — in lower Fairfield County.
My tasks as a volunteer are varied, and, as with other volunteers, are determined by my skills and time. I scoop litter, play with cats and kittens, assist at adoption days and help with fund–raising. Other volunteers keep the books or provide temporary foster homes for cats and kittens. Still others trap feral cats so they can be spayed/neutered and/or commit to feeding those cats when they are returned to their colonies. We’re a “mixed bag.” Some of us are in our teens; others qualify as senior citizens.
My point here is that volunteers are needed, regardless of age or skills. And, while getting the work done, you might make a new friend or two. If, like me, you’ve thought of volunteering but haven’t yet found the “right fit,” please consider Friends of Felines. For more information, send an e–email to info@adoptapet.org. Better yet, come and meet some of us. We host adoption days at The Ark Pet Supply in Stamford at least one Saturday each month.
If you’re still not ready to make this commitment, please consider the following:
* Make a tax–deductible donation. As a 501 (c) 3 organization, we qualify for corporate matching gift programs!
* Donate your inkjet and laser printer cartridges. Friends of Felines participates in the “cashforcritters” program, which pays us cash for the cartridges we collect. Check out our website for more information.
* If you’re an online shopper, shop through igive.com, a program that allows you to “donate” to Friends of Felines ... at no cost to you! Check out our website for details.
* Plan a party and ask your guests to make a donation to Friends of Felines. We can drop–off and pick–up a donation canister and materials about Friends of Felines. Call me at 203-422-2497 to make arrangements.

Jimmy, Dusty & Cherie - Adopted January, 2006

Settling in very quickly, and oh so pretty under their thick winter coats, these 3 girls must have been much loved by their outside mom because they like to be touched and talked to almost as much as they like to eat! No names yet - we're waiting to see who they really are, but no doubt they will be just purrfect! Ready to be adopted in mid-January.
