A month ago, I was shaken to learn that the so-called rescue where I adopted Mimi & Luna was raided for animal neglect.
Thankfully a FAR better no-kill shelter has stepped in: friendsofuplandanimalshel…. Please join me in helping "the ones I left behind." DONATE or SIGNAL BOOST!

HEADLINE: Hundreds of Cats Need Our Help
Text: Friends of Upland Animal Shelter is caring for several hundred cats following their removal from two commercial units on West 11th Street in Upland by the Upland Police Department and Upland Animal Services on September 21.
These cats are now safe and receiving the food, shelter, medical attention, and care they need. However, because they are part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation, they cannot currently be placed in foster homes or made available for adoption. We do not know when that may change.
Subheading: A Significant, Ongoing Commitment
Text: Caring for hundreds of additional cats requires extraordinary resources, including food, litter, veterinary care, medications, staffing, and volunteer support. And because we don't know how long these cats will remain in our care, the costs will continue for as long as they need us.
This is a tremendous undertaking, but these cats need us, and we are committed to caring for them.
We don't know how long they will be with us, so we're asking our community to help us provide the care they need for as long as necessary. Every donation will make a difference.
Although we don't know how long these cats will need our care, we do know that they need us today.
With the support of our community, Friends of Upland Animal Shelter can continue providing these cats with the food, shelter, medical care, and compassion they deserve.
Subheading: Frequently Asked Questions [Link]
Text: We understand that our community has questions about the cats currently in our care. We've provided answers to the most common questions below and will continue to update this page as new information becomes available and circumstances change.

Subheading: Donate Critical Supplies
Text: Caring for hundreds of cats means we're going through supplies faster than ever. We need ongoing donations of cat food, litter, cleaning supplies, and other essential items to keep these cats safe, comfortable, and healthy while they remain in our care.
Every bag of food, box of litter, and donated supply helps us stretch our resources further and continue providing the care these cats need.
Heading: Adopt a Cat [Link]
Text: None of the confiscated cats in our care are available for adoption.
However, we have many available cats and kittens in the shelter, and many kittens in foster care who will soon be available for adoption. You can help ease this situation by adopting a cat now.
Heading: Surrendered Cat Inquiry Form [Link]
Text: If you previously surrendered a cat to Furget Me Not Purebred Cat Rescue, please submit your information through the Surrendered Cat Inquiry Form.
Because these cats are part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation, we are unable to provide any information at this time.
However, submitting your information will allow us to keep it on file and contact you in the future if we are legally permitted to do so.
Thank you for your patience, support, and cooperation while we ensure the safety, health, and proper legal handling of all animals in our care.
Heading: Veterinary Assistance Form [Link]
Text: If you are a Veterinarian, Registered Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Assistant/Technician, or have other veterinary experience and would like to offer your assistance with the care of these cats, please fill out our Veterinary Resource Form.
