Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa, California 95406) is a non-profit organization serving Sonoma County and beyond.
Donna Best founded the organization in October of 1990. Today, it has over 4,000 contributing supporters, 200 volunteers, and the endorsement and cooperation of both City and County Animal Control Agencies in Sonoma County.
The primary goals of Forgotten Felines are to spay/neuter feral cats; to manage colonies of feral cats; to pull adoptable cats and tameable kittens from colonies for adoption; to educate/assist the public with all aspects of feral cat colony management; and to provide public assistance with food for feral cat colonies.
Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County practices the TTVAR-M (Trap, Test, Vaccinate, Alter, Return and Maintain) method of feral cat control. Through this method, cats are humanely trapped, tested for feline leukemia, given a rabies and FVRCP vaccination, ear tipped, and altered, then returned to their colony where they are fed and watered daily. Tame, adoptable adult cats are removed from the colony and placed into the Adoption Program. Kittens under the age of three months are also removed, placed in foster care for taming, and then brought into the Adoption Program for placement into a lifelong home.
