For Purrs Sake Feline Rescue Incorporated

Ravenswood, WV

Another organization, Operation Fancy Free, had been the sole organization benefiting cats in our county since 2013. Operation Fancy Free's primary mission was TNR, but they also had a rescue/foster/adopt program along with it. The decision was made in July of this year (2018) to close OFF's foster program and for the organization to refocus solely on TNR. Several OFF volunteers, including myself, were primarily involved with OFF's rescue/foster/adopt program and wanted to continue to provide a rescue/foster/adopt program for cats in our county. Although we know TNR is important, we have a passion for helping existing cats that have been the victims of abandonment, neglect, and abuse find a better life. As a result, we split from OFF, recruited a few friends, and founded our own organization to focus on that aspect of feline welfare in our county.
