Grant Writer Volunteer - MUST BE EXPERIENCED
FUR & FEATHER ANIMAL SANCTUARY, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
About Us
Our goal EMPTY CAGES. FOREVER HOMES.
Fur & Feather Animal Sanctuary (FFAS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to protecting and caring for homeless and unwanted animals by providing medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption within a safe, no‑kill environment.
We are committed to fighting animal cruelty, educating the public on responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter, and basic animal care, and supporting the rehabilitation of wildlife.
We have only just begun — and we need your support.
Our vision is bold: to build California’s first fully solar‑powered, 65‑acre no‑kill sanctuary, serving as overflow for city and county shelters while assisting traditional rescues with critical medical care and foster programs.
Together, we can turn empty cages into forever homes.
FFAS partners with city, county and local residences to take in cats with severe special needs, disabilities or facing homelessness on the streets and house them in our facility.
Once they are at our sanctuary, our staff and fosters care for the cats and kittens, working with them the best medical care, rehab and love. Some are not adoptable, but many are and so we get them ready for adoption. They stay with us until they find their forever homes and as our cats are adopted, we reach out to our partners to bring us more cats and kittens thus being a part of the solution to saving our community cats.
Volunteers are vital to our operations here at FFAS.
We continually seek to expand our programs with volunteer support. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on donations and volunteer efforts to help us achieve our goals and saving our communities at risk cats.
