For many years, the membership of FCF members have been helping wild cats during crises, including rehoming animals, assisting with urgent rescues, and stepping up to help deal with all kinds of emergencies involving wild cats.

The FCF Board of Directors has developed a program to raise funds to assist in the transport and emergency care of felines in need.  Sales from the FCF website store generate assistance for this fund, as well as donations from members and concerned feline supporters like you.

Click here to Donate to the Wildcat Safety Net Fund using Paypal. For donations of $50.00 you may chose from one of three different colored pencil drawing prints. Pick either the Snow leopard, the White tiger, or the Black panther by artist Teri Zucksworth. Each print is 24 inches by 36 inches and ready for matting and framing. Make your selection, and indicate in your Paypal notes your choice and be sure to include your mailing address.

Guidelines for the Wildcat Safety Net Fund

In the case of animal abandonment, seizure by a legal agency, illegally owned and surrendered animals, or an animal owner no longer being able to provide adequate care due to changes in circumstances, the Safety Net Fund may be used for any of the following purposes:

* emergency veterinary care and medications
* appropriate food and water for animals at risk
* transport of the animal(s) to a new, permanent home or approved temporary home
* emergency repair of caging/shelter to ensure human safety, animal containment and welfare
* construction of temporary housing at an interim or receiving location
* housing and basic expenses for a volunteer(s) to remain on site in a situation where human safety or animal welfare may otherwise be at risk

Funds from this account may not be used for any of the following purposes:

* temporary care and support of an animal that will remain in the same circumstances
* veterinary care or medication for an animal not being rehomed
* repairs to caging or shelters for an animal not being rehomed
* permanent housing construction at a receiving location
* long-term support of a rehomed animal, animal owner or caregiver
* fundraising to directly benefit a specific owner or receiving location
