About Us
What We Do
The Ellington Feline Foundation seeks to reduce cat overpopulation by practicing, teaching, and raising awareness of Trap Neuter Return Manage (TNRM). We believe through community cooperation and outreach we can eliminate the suffering of these abandoned animals by breaking the reproductive cycle. We are committed to the well-being of our local feral and community cats.
The Ellington Feline Foundation targets identified problem areas in Hilmar, California and surrounding cities. We work with the residents and/or business owners by education on TNR and feral cat colony management. In cooperation with the residents or business owners, a mass trapping is scheduled. Cats are trapped and taken to a clinic where they are neutered, vaccinated and their ears are tipped. Kittens and socialized cats are fostered by volunteers and placed into homes. Healthy adult feral/community cats are returned to their colony site where designated caretakers provide food, shelter and continuing care. Follow up trappings are conducted for missed or stray cats.
Our mission
At The Ellington Feline Foundation, our mission is to:
- Provide a no-cage, no-kill sanctuary for feral and abandoned cats and kittens for the State of California, primarily serving the Central Valley;
- Facilitate the adoption of cats into safe, loving, healthy and permanent homes;
- Educate the public on how to become directly involved in improving the quality of animal welfare;
- Offer low cost spay and neuter referrals.
