FALC Programs

Trap Neuter Return

Feline Advocates of Leon County's TNR program has successfully trapped and released over 80 spayed & neutered cats.

Trap Neuter Release is a common objective done in rescue in which a feral, stray, or unsocialized outside cat is caught, fixed, and released back where they were found. Cat's that are TNR'd also have one of their ear's tipped at the time of their spay or neuter so other rescues know they have already been trapped and fixed.

This stray kitty pictured here wondered into the trap during an attempt to catch a different cat.

Fostering

Fostering is a great way to be directly involved in the rehabilitation of shy or unsocial cats of all ages, or the potential of hand raising kittens, all without the financial burden on the caretaker. Although it can be challenging, it is extremely rewarding as our kitties find their furever home with wonderful families.

Fundraising

Different kinds of fundraisers are held throughout each year to raise funds to help FALC continue our TNR, foster, and other programs. We have held and participated in multiple share nights at restaurants, bake sales, annual disc golf tournaments, garage sales, art auctions, etc.

COVID-19 unfortunately halted, and cancelled some of the fundraisers that were planned for 2020.

However, we carefully and safely resumed the annual For Cat's Sake Art Auction this year, 2021. Money was raised, local art was showcased, and people were happy to attend.

Fat Cat Cafe

The Fat Cat Cafe was switched to a non-profit under FALC in early 2019. The cafe has been a tremendous avenue for adoptions through FALC and other local rescue partners such as Smitten With Kittens, ECAH, and the C.A.R.E program, while socializing cats and kittens with each other and people of all ages.

To date the cafe has adopted out over 1000 cats since August 2017.

Fat Cat Books

Fat Cat Books, is FALC's second location, and is a used book store/adoption center for adult and senior cats, located in Railroad Square. Used books are for sale as older kitties lounge around and are also available for adoption.
