🐾 Charlene, now known as Opal, loves her morning playtime! Her pawrent says “she loves the ball track. I bought her a new one, but she loves this older abused one from my Angel leftovers better!” Isn’t that always the way 😂

🐾 Do you have a quiet home for Karina? 12 year old Karina is waiting for that one special person to patiently accept and understand why she is so hesitant to trust. She lost her human who was her entire world, and she’s very confused. All she wants and needs is a safe cozy place to lay her head and finally try to relax. Can you renew her faith, give her hope, and be her new world? 🐾

🐾 Meet our new featured feline, Echo! Athena, our previous featured feline, who was adopted after holding her crown for just a few days, knows Echo very well, and has this to say about her friend: “Echo is a very handsome 4 year old gentleman with stunning green eyes! He’s very sweet and good-natured and is always up for receiving human affection. He’s a curious boi, and likes to watch the world go by from his high perch! He needs a home of his very own. Won’t you please give him one?” 🐾

🐾 10 month old Saffron's most obvious feature is her sumptuous, fluffy tail!! But in addition to her magnificent tail, this girl is a super-friendly and social love bug. She’s very affectionate and loves to snuggle and cuddle! She is still a kitten, so she has a curious and playful demeanor. And she loves to talk. She and her bff Buttercup, also 10 months old, were previously adopted together, but came to us when their human needed to move to a new location that does not allow pets. Is there room in your home for both Saffron and Buttercup? 🐾

🐾 Become a foster, save a life. This is what two months in a loving, caring, foster home looks like. Only 2 months…
Dreamer went from being abandoned, arriving at SFAR, and going straight to a foster. Today her foster mom says “she’s doing great! She's a silly girl -I’m not sure she knows she can walk because she runs everywhere!”
She's super active-she goes after my big cats like she’s one if them. And when it’s time to settle down, she’s right by my side.
If you would like to be a part of our foster family, please visit www..sfarvenice.org/volunteer. If you prefer to make a donation so others like Dreamer can thrive in foster, and go on to be adopted, please donate at https://donate.flanzertrust.org Your donation will be doubled by the Louis and Gloria Flanzer Trust! Be sure to select St. Francis Animal Rescue of Venice, Inc. from the drop-down list. Together, we can make a difference, one feline at a time ❤️

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.
