Dane County Friends of Ferals is a group of dedicated volunteers committed to creating a better future for feral cats. Our mission is to establish a no-kill standard and to promote the value and well-being of Dane County's feral cats. We are Dane County's primary resource for feral cat questions and assistance.

What is a feral cat?

OUTDOOR RURAL HOMES NEEDED 
These cats are healthy, neutered/spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. All we ask is that you provide food, water and shelter for these cats every day.  We will deliver them to your door for only $10 per cat.

We are desperately seeking fosters for our
special needs cats! 
Please contact our Foster Coordinator to find out how you can be a foster parent for a cat in need of love and attention. For more information check out our foster handbook.

Fifty eight cats underwent spay/neuter surgery along with getting their rabies and distemper shots at our January 23, 2010 Spayathon. Special thanks to Dr. Sheldon and Madison Area Technical College’s cooperation in our effort to reduce the number of unwanted litters in Dane County and surrounding areas. And the above and beyond the call of duty kudos goes to two members of Spring Green’s MewHaven rescue group. They brought in 16 cats from a hoarding situation in Sauk County. We are in desperate need of either indoor or outdoor homes for these cats that are tame but lack the basic care and sanitary conditions necessary for their well being. If you would be willing to care for or adopt some of them please call 608-836-1638. There are also two 5 week old kittens and a litter of one week old kittens that we need to relocate as soon as possible.

We would like to recognize the following businesses which provided food for the volunteers who participated in the Spayathon.

· Scott’s Pastry Shoppe – 6637 University Ave., Middleton.

· Blue Spoon Café – 2831 Parment St., Middleton.

We encourage supporters of Dane County Friends of Ferals to show their appreciation by patronizing these establishments.

Please contact us at 577-1500 if you are interested in bringing animals to our next spayathon.

Hi! My name is Sylar. I swore to myself I'd never take out a personals ad but I'm part of the Dane County Friends of Ferals foster program and I'm looking for a permanent home. Click here for more information about me!

We are desperately seeking new foster homes for kittens and cats. An unspayed cat can give birth up to 18 kittens each year and there is an influx in the spring. These kittens need to be placed into foster care until they are old enough to be adopted. All you need is one room to separate your foster cats from your own cats, time to spend with your foster cats and the desire to make a difference. Please contact our foster care coordinator if you can help.
