🐾 Dreamer has been fostered to adopt! This is what 3 months, your donations and foster care can do ❤️ Dreamer came to us as part of the Arcadia lifesaving mission-she was found abandoned, and upon arriving at SFAR, went directly into the care of an amazing foster mom. Today, she is in arms of her forever human! This the true meaning of rescue 🙏🏻 For more information on fostering, please visit sfarvenice.org/foster 🐾

SFAR Venice

St Francis Animal Rescue of Venice is a 501(c) limited admission, free roaming, no-kill cat Rescue. Established in 1994, we support 100+ cats and kittens on-site and 75 in short and long term foster care. 30-40 cats are available for adoption, with the remainder in our care permanently or in long term care. The shelter is funded by donations and a thrift store. We have a small team of employees to manage, medicate and clean. A dedicated volunteer team of approximately 50 individuals do whatever is necessary to keep our shelter and thrift store operational. Cats in our care receive medical treatment from local veterinarians. Foster care families care for kittens until they are ready for adoption and others help to socialize cats who otherwise would be considered unadoptable. We consider ourselves a rescue and try to focus on helping cats who, without rescue and care, would not be adoptable and would likely be euthanized.

We assist our community with education on cat behavior to keep cats in their homes. We provide referrals to other rescues to free or low cost spay and neuter clinics in the area. We support trapping for TNR programs. We provide donated food for feral colonies and furnish food to families and food banks so pets can remain in their homes.
