About Us

The Forgotten Felines Foundation is a non-profit organisation (Charity) whose primary mission is to help people within the community of Kapiti Coast with the stray and abandoned cats and kittens. We accomplish this through the effective method of “TNR” (trap-neuter-return). When possible, tame cats and kittens are adopted into loving homes. Cats that cannot be socialized are returned to the location where they were trapped and fed daily by caring volunteers and members of the community.

Our desire to meet an unmet need: a number of small rescues in the Greater Wellington Region already exist. However, due to the extent of the stray and feral cat population, there is a need for a rescue which specialises in meeting the unique needs of cats and kittens that require medium to long term socialisation and support to become domesticated companion animals. Our long term goal is the reduction in colonies and colony numbers.

We want to support the idea of keeping New Zealand’s wildlife safe by promoting humane methods of cat care, such as de-sexing and microchipping. As well as opposing Backyard Breeders and defining Cats as “Pests”.
