Turning Hisses into Kisses
Finding Homes for Hard to Rehome Cats
Forgotten Felines Cat Rescue was founded in June 2018 with the aim of rehoming the "unhomeable" cats and to date we have succeeded to rehome over 500 of these cats! We specialise in finding homes for hard to rehome cats, especially disabled, timid FIV+ and abused cats. Many of our cats come in petrified of any human contact and our fosterers work tirelessly to ensure that they not only accept human contact, but they actively seek love, warmth, cuddles and strokes. We have a few long term care and palliative cats in our care. Our dedicated fosterers ensure that these cats spend their last few days with us happy, warm and with full bellies receiving all of the love that they could imagine.
