Feline Friends is a foster-based, no kill,
cat rescue organization serving Chicago.
We do not have a physical site -
we are completely foster-based.
To meet any of our cats in the Feline Friends program, we arrange meetings between
foster homes and potential adopters.
Feline Friends is staffed 100% by volunteers,
and is funded entirely by private donations. Feline Friends is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible.
The Directors of Feline Friends, Lisa Ward and Toni McNaughton have been volunteering, together and separately, with various local and national animal welfare organizations since 1998. Together, as volunteers, they co-managed a cat adoption center operated by
PAWS Chicago from 1998 through 2004.
Since that time they have continued to rescue, foster and place homeless cats,
founding Feline Friends in 2009.
When not engaged in rescue work,
Toni is a representative for commercial photographers, and Lisa is a Consultant
at JamesDruryPartners, a Board Director advisory firm.
