** ADOPTION FEE PAID FOR ** Alina is a small 5-year-old girl who has spent the past few months learning to trust again... and is making great progress! She can be opinionated, so Alina needs a family that will be patient with her and make every effort to get to know her body language as her form of communication. Can you be the family she needs? We are open Monday through Saturday from 10-5!!

✨Update on Stacie & Allison✨

We adopted Stacie (now Lena ) and Allison ( Now Luna ) almost 3 months ago from your great facility and the 2 girls are doing wonderful. They have brought so much joy to myself and Beverly and we now couldn’t imagine life without them. We just wanted to thank everyone at St Francis who cared for our babies prior to the adoption. We are so fortunate to have an organization like yours that brings so much happiness to the cats and the adopting pet parents. Thank you!

🌟 Thank You, ! 🌟

We are thrilled to announce that St. Francis Animal Rescue has received a generous enrichment grant from the Petfinder Foundation! 🎉

Thanks to this wonderful support, we were able to purchase Stretch & Scratch cage scratch pads for our cats and kittens. These scratch pads are a fantastic enrichment tool, and help our kitties stay happy when they are temporarily confined to cages.🐱❤️

We are deeply grateful for the Petfinder Foundation's continued support and dedication to animal welfare. This grant will make a significant difference in the lives of our rescued cats and kittens.

Kitten food needed! We currently have 48 kittens in our rescue, and kitten season is just starting! Our rescue kittens are fed Fancy Feast canned kitten food (in addition to Purina One dry kitten food), and we will need a lot of food to get through kitten season. We currently go through ten 24 packs of Fancy Feast Kitten turkey and chicken flavors each week. Please consider helping fill these hungry tummies! We, and the kittens, are grateful for your support!

** Update on Frito **

Frito is just wonderful, loving, and seems happy to be with us. He’s really smart, plays then hides his favorite toys.
Leads us to his food dish when he wants to eat.
He’s had friends visiting and bringing him toys.
Thank you,
Dolores

Fred is an 11-year-old tabby who was rescued by a vet before undergoing euthanasia. He is very appreciative but is confused as to why he is here. Fred is a cat who would be happiest in a calm and quiet environment. He is somewhat independent but loves to be petted and talked to. He will sometimes even ask for belly rubs. Fred is also adventurous and curious and likes to explore. Fred is especially happy sitting on the lanai watching the outside world. If you think you can give this senior cat somewhere to live out his golden years, please come visit him! We are open 10-5

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.
