Yes, Familiars Foster Network & Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit.
FFNR is 100% foster-based. Because of this, we do not have a main shelter location. We have fosters in Janesville, Beloit, Whitewater, and Madison and serve the surrounding southern Wisconsin areas into northern Illinois.Â
Familiars Foster Network & Rescue is a kitten-focused organization specializing in neonatal kittens, pregnant cats, nursing moms with litters, and weaned kittens up to 8 weeks old. Because these vulnerable groups often struggle to thrive in a shelter environment, we primarily take in animals directly from high-intake facilities in our area. As a result, we do not accept public strays (except for orphaned neonatal kittens) or owner surrenders.
Some routine veterinary care such as certain vaccinations, dewormer, and flea and tick treatment is done in the foster home by experienced FFNR fosters. Other necessary veterinary care such as microchipping, spay/neuter surgeries, and more is done at Precision Veterinary in Madison.
