Wild Cat Foundation
Our mission is to end the use of euthanasia as a means to control animal over population by providing affordable spay/neuter to all pet owners and feral cat caregivers in a safe and humane environment. In addition, we consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of Trap-Neuter-Return, in hopes that it becomes the only choice for managing homeless cats. Through awareness and availability, we believe people will embrace positive solutions.
Wild Cat Foundation helps facilitate in the reduction of the feral cat population through TNR (Trap Neuter and Return) in Lafayette and surrounding parishes, and educates the populace about feral cats in general. We are a volunteer organization based in Lafayette, Louisiana and we received our non profit 501(c)3 status, February 2005.
We are not a shelter, we do not intake cats. The cats and kittens we put up for adoption are a result of trapping for TNR and were either young enough to be socialized or stray or non-ferals. While our focus is feral cats, we sometimes also encounter dogs who need help. As for cats, we make sure they are healthy and then try to find the perfect homes for them.
All the pets for adoption are already neutered. Unless otherwise specified, all felines have tested negative for FELK/FIV and all dogs are heartworm negative. They are also current on all vaccinations and deworming.
If you fall in love with one of our pets, please fill out our online pre-adoption questionnaire. We will then contact you and make sure we have the perfect match.
The adoption fee varies, it is usually $75, but we will be happy to offer a reduced fee if you choose to adopt two of our pets. The adoption fee for senior pets or special cases is on a case by case basis.
Once you have been approved and have taken your new little family member home, a WCF volunteer will call within 1-2 weeks to check on the progress of your new addition, if it is adjusting in your home, or if there are any problems or concerns that have arisen. Our goal is to make sure everyone is happy!
