Forgotten Felines of Forsyth is dedicated to humanely reducing the unwanted cat population of Forsyth County, NC and surrounding areas. Since it was founded in 2004, FFF has neutered 1,825 cats!  At the present time, FFF's neutering efforts are at a standstill due to a shortage of funds. Please consider sending in your tax-deductible donation today to ensure our continued efforts. You may send a donation online via the "Donate Now" button to the left, or mail your donation to: DebbieHallphoto.jpg (49299 bytes)

The fact that Forgotten Felines of Forsyth has Trap-Neuter-Returned over 1,800 cats is impressive. However, if we consider the number of unwanted litters that were prevented by having these cats neutered, the numbers become astounding.

Upcoming Events

FFF will be having an Attractions book fundraiser until Christmas (for more info, please see page 3)

Number of Cats Trap-Neuter-Returned in Forsyth and Surrounding Areas:

Year         Total       Moved to adoption program
2004      195         9
2005      454         38
2006      519         99
2007*    394        23
2008*    263        17

The number and size of spay/neuter clinics in 2007 and 2008 declined due to reduced participation by the primary clinic veterinarian. FFF is looking for ways to increase TNR numbers again. We would like to start offering trapping classes. Another option for people who need to have feral cats neutered is to do so by using one of participating veterinarians. For more information, please visit the "How to Get Help" link on our website.
