ST. PATRICK'S DAY MESSAGE |
Ah…the luck of the Irish…Setter. Yes, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and our thoughts turn to Green Beer, Parades, Shamrocks and everything Irish! Let’s pause the celebration for a moment to go over some St. Patrick’s Day Pet Safety Tips. Keep Alcoholic Beverages away from Pets Dogs love the smell and flavor of alcohol, and they will drink it if given the opportunity. Please, place your drinks out of your pet’s reach. Alcohol can be toxic to pets. Remember: No Green Beer! Parades/Celebrations and Loud Noises

Our Feathured Cat... |
Our MS DOOLEY came to us with her two brothers, Tiny Tim and Chupa. The trio came. in under the F.F.F. S.O.L. Program for at-risk cats and kittens. All were very underweight, full of parasites, and battling urinal and intestinal issues.

Pets are not presents!Responsible pet adoption during the holidays and around special occasions can be summed up very simply: pets are not presents. Many dogs and cats given as gifts end up at animal shelters shortly after they are gifted. They face an uncertain and typically grim future. You might find it difficult to resist surprising your kid with a puppy or kitten, or presenting a pet to your parents, but the reasons not to do so are more compelling. Pets are foreverAlthough lifespan varies by species, breed and other factors, nearly 40% of dogs live more than 10 years. The average indoor cat will live 14-16 years. The recipient might not be prepared for a gift that requires a long-term commitment, financially and in terms of their lifestyle.

F.F.F. Policies |
Adopting a FriendAn interview, application and home visit, followed by a 5-7 day trial visit of the selected pet in the prospective adoptive home. An Animal Care Adoption Contract is required to be signed by the adopter and a FFF representative, and a recovery/adoption fee is tenderedThe adopter(s) must be of legal age to sign a legal contract.
Special circumstance adoptions are available for eligible adopters. Micro-ChippingIn an effort to provide our FFF graduates,
their families, and our dedicated F.F.F. fosters/staff with peace of
mind, we are exploring micro chipping all of our adoptees. This will provide a safety
net for our formerly friendless felines that go on to their new homes. AppointmentsWe show our cats by appointments at your home. Appointments can be made with FFF through our HAVE CAT WILL TRAVEL Program, (925) 808-8364. Availability of the cats or kittens for appointment depends on the availability of the foster and transportation arrangements. If you see a cat or kitten you are interested in on our website, contact Sally via our email or by phone to check on the availability of that cat or kitten for evening appointments. Adoption CriteriaAs a rule, F.F.F. prefers not to offer kittens
until all veterinary test results are normal. All F.F.F. cats
and kittens are combo tested for feline AIDS and feline Leukemia prior
to adoption. Therefore, we will not release any cat or kitten for adoption
until we can be assured of an accurate test result. We will not knowingly adopt any cat or kitten into your home that we wouldn't place in our own homes. We appreciate your understanding. |
