Facts about FRIENDS of PC Animals
Where do we get our animals?
Special ways Friends helps the community:
What makes our rescue unique?
Where do we get our animals?
- Abandoned and forgotten. People who move and leave the animals behind
- Elderly folk who cannot care for their pet anymore, or have been moved into convalescent care
- Death of a pet owner
- Pet owner becomes homeless
- From culverts, under houses and trailers, junk cars
- From feral mothers. We trap the mother and litter, keep them together until the kittens are weaned and then spay and release her and get the kittens ready for adoption.
- From the Plumas County Animal Shelter
Special ways Friends helps the community:
- Offer vouchers to defray the cost of spay/neuter when we can
- Offer a Crisis Food Program which gives free food twice in a year (when we have it) to anyone who needs help feeding their pets
- FRIENDS takes in pregnant females and allows them to give birth in a safe and warm facility. Our “Maternity Ward” and Nursery” are busy for months of the year
- Loan out trapping cages so people can manage feral cat populations in their neighborhoods
What makes our rescue unique?
- Whenever possible animals are housed together for socialization and comfort
- Our kitten playroom has an activity gym and several window cat patios ('catios') where the animals can sit in the sun and take in the activity of the outdoors
- All enclosures have cat hammocks so the animals can lounge and feel safe
- We try to match special needs animals with the special needs of people
- FRIENDS works with Social Services and gives community service opportunities so people can get required hours of work
