SFoF... I cannot even begin to explain in writing how wonderful they are. Every employee I've met is a delight, and really loves their job. They're truly the real deal here. I trust them, and their leadership absolutely. If you're looking for a kitty that's needing a home, or you've found a lost traveller... look no FURther than this wonderful, loving, safe haven. They'll take care of it all! 😺❤️😻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😻😸❤️

We had a great experience here, adopting our cat. Everyone was friendly and professional. It was clear that they take a great deal of care to keep the kitties healthy, active, and socialized.

Always loved this place. If you're having a bad day come here to pet some kitties and maybe take one home! Good prices from good people who just want to do good things in the world. Any donations here will go to a good cause. Update a few years later: I got my lovely lady, Lilah here. Found as a stray, and definitely been through alot She has her forever home with me now. Friends of felines took such good care of her, and I couldn't be more thankful. She's gotten me through some very difficult times, and she's truly apart of my heart now I don't donate to many places because so many people are corrupt nowadays.... But please donate to this place. They are pure of heart and are doing amazing things for these kitties. ❤️ Please enjoy the pictures of my little crazy cat queen 😊

Questions & Answers

Are you able to bring in a cat. If your not able to take care of her anymore.

Iryna | Aug 17, 2019
Mike Davis | Aug 17, 2019

Yes you can but if they dont have the room they might have you take the cat to SAFE HAVEN In Albany. They usually have room in Albany. It does cost a small amount but if they take your cat you NEVER have. To worry about your cat. Being put down or put to sleep. If Safe Haven takes your cat it will stay with them until it gets a forever home or it passes away from old age.

Can I apply the same day and get approved the same day I want a sweet kitten

Lindsay Mediano | Aug 17, 2019
Janae Propeck | Aug 17, 2019

Should as long as if you rent you have in writing an agreement saying you can have a kitten. We suggest a rental agreement or a pet agreement. If you own, then you most likely would be approved, though it's up to the staff to decide for sure.

I need a lower priced then my vet to get my cat neutered do you have a program?

Evelyn Cleveland | Aug 17, 2019
Janae Propeck | Aug 17, 2019

Yes. On the 1st of every month you can purchase up to 4 spay/neuter vouchers for $5 each. Then it will only be 25 for spay or 20 for neuter at participating vets. You have to come to the adoption center to get it and they tend to go fast. Open at 11am so probably no later than 1030am. April 2nd will be the voucher day cause closed on Mondays.

so my kitty just died this weekend. I have some cat food and kitty litter. Just wondering if you accept open bags of either?

Cathy Domogalla | Aug 17, 2018
Shelly | Aug 17, 2018

So sorry for your loss. That is very kind of you to try and donate your extra supplies. I would call and ask, and it's a great place to cuddle with kittens if you need to.

Is there an agency that can bring a cat to visit a nursing home patient who loves cats?

A Google User | Aug 17, 2019
Maitel “Mattie” Johnson | Aug 17, 2019

Your best best is to call other nursing homes and see who they use. This is usually a volunteer activity who is vested and insured. Make sure these individuals have background checks or/and accompanied by staff.

Someone said you could request space for baby kittens in the future. These kittens will be mature enough in a couple months and we'd like to make sure they have a place to go. Where can I register for space for them and possibly get the Mom spayed?

Bruce n Di Siggson | Aug 2, 2022
B D | Aug 2, 2022

This is a pet adoption organization. I've not heard of reserving space in a shelter or pre-registering animals to be surrendered. Maybe someone else will chime in, but I would just give them a call on Tuesday :-)

My cat eats dry food ONLY. She won't eat moist food AT ALL. She won't even eat freshly cooked chicken or turkey that I've baked in the oven. Is it healthy for her to eat dry food ONLY? What can I give her for a treat? What kind of moist food can?

Elizabeth Gullett | Dec 19, 2021
Matt Saunders | Apr 18, 2022

It is ok for cats to eat only dry food but they can get urinary tract infections from dehydration. They like most animals get their moisure from their food, ive found my picky cat likes the meow mix fish cups, they look like apple sauce cups. Its chunks of real fish, dont get pat`e its like hotdogs vs steak

What assistance can yo provide for some newly homeless, with a kitty.

Ian McGee | Aug 16, 2020
Angela Benitez | Aug 16, 2020

They can also help with food, it is not a given that just because you are homeless you have to give your fur baby up. If you go in and talk to them they can better tell you what they can do for you. But I really must say I am sorry that there are so many people that think that just because you have fallen on hard times it is a given that you would break an emotional bond and give your cat away, I guess there will always be emotionally clueless people.

Cynthia Scott | Aug 16, 2020

In a case like this you cannot avoid taking your cat to a vet to ensure it's health. Would you if it truly was your human child? I have most vets will work with on money. I have forgone food, clothes, put off car repairs, all to pay to prevent cat from dying. And as said elsewhere on this page, it is not a veterinary, there isn't a vet on staff there. They cannot give you medical advice, especially to avoid opening themselves up to liability issues.

What to do about a loving cat that loves to snuggle then this last year she stalks me & suddenly she attacks, either bites/scratches me. I don't want to put her down, tired of the attack and run, all I can do is tell her "Bad Girl" and not snuggle.

Karen Rosgen | Aug 17, 2019
matthew Foley | Aug 17, 2019

Cats are NOT fans of change. They like their environment, habits,etc to stay routine. What's changed for her? Because it doesnt sound like a kitten who wasnt taught to play nicely, it sounds like a stress or anxiety behavior change. First step is finding that change and eliminating that if you can adjusting it if you can't second is to get stress relief diffuser, calming stuff.

My fellow guides are correct. Salem Friends of Felines doesn't have any boarding facilities.

What do you do with a cat that doesn't do anything but bite you!?!!!

Melinda Barrett | Aug 17, 2019
Jason A. Loftus | Aug 17, 2019

Raised cats for 20 odd years or so. I've found withdrawing affection (pull your hand away and say ouch! or something similar) and dont give them attention. Also... some cats are just dicks. My current one is a bengal, they are very high energy and require... no joke... being walked so they get enough mental/physical stimulation to feel tired. Not getting enough excersize can lead to cats disturbing your sleep with craziness, and being more aggressive like that. Mine loves to bite, but if I tire her out, she'll just chill on my lap for hours! Good luck!

They do. (They only do kitties). But because of the huge amount of kitties in need, they will ask you for some information about the kitty first. It would be best to call them. Or stop by. (They are a completely volunteer run facility, so sometimes they're understaffed).

We have some feral or left behind cats at our home in otis..anyone help please? I've had several fixed..we have kept 5.or anyone know of farms that would take some? Humane society in Newport has a program for that.

cheryl Orey | Aug 17, 2019
Kathy Soderstrom | Aug 17, 2019

Salem Friends of Felines might be able to help you if the cats are friendly enough to be handled and turned into house cats. Other possible options are: 1. The Humane Society in Salem. It has a program for people looking for barn cats. They have a wait list people can sign up on. You might contact them and see if they can help. Their phone # is 503-585-5900. 2. Post notices at some of the large animal vets and farm/feed stores around you saying you're looking for homes for your cats. You can give them away but require them to contact their vet's office and authorize them to provide you with a reference before you release a cat to them. They can do it while at your house or leave a name & number for you to call the vet's office when it's open. If you do that you might offer to deliver the cat to them so you can see where it's going. The second way tends to be a pretty safe way to place barn cats, and speaking to their vet is a good way to know if they'll take care of your cats.

You need make an appointment to bring in cats. I believe that applies to strays as well. They only have so much space so if they are full when you go in they won't be able to take in the cats you brought. I'd suggest you call them tomorrow between 11:00 and 6:00 and see about setting up an appointment.

You should not need to "renew" a chip. However when you got your kitty they should have your paperwork. If you need it updated and dont have the paperwork they will carry a digital copy at the shelter. You local vet should be able to update your info ir help you to do so. Your rabies vaccination is the only thing you need to renew that im aware of. I meam if couse youll want shots etc but thats a while diff story. ♡
