My housecat Belle got out and got pregnant several months ago. She ended up having 4 babies and even though my kids and I loved them more than you could imagine, we do not have the room for them. I live in Visalia and could not find a shelter or foster for my kittens anywhere. For 2-months I searched all of Tulare County and found nothing. I then extended my search as far south as Bakersfield and as far north as Fresno, and found no one who would take my kittens. I got the same line each time, that "cats are free-roaming and can be let out". But my kittens were non-feral, spoiled, and very loved house cats, so they had very little chance of survival in the wild and I would never do that to them. Then one day my mom happened to see a shared post about FMAS. I took a chance and gave them a call. First, I took my kittens by so they can see they were friendly, and once they confirmed that we were off to the races. They got my kitties vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed/neutered all within 2 weeks. And 2-weeks after that they found a home for all my babies in the Bay Area. I miss them dearly, but I couldn't be happier knowing they all have good homes now. That's all I wanted for them. Diana, Chelsie, Becky, and the rest of the team are absolutely incredible and the most caring people I've ever met. Thank you again for everything you did for my Rocki, Terry, PB, and Pepper, and even for their spoiled mama, Belle 😸 I wish you all the best!

FMAS is a great place. They are well informed and are compassionate to all fur baby loves. I am so grateful for the information provided by them. The program for animals loved by a deceased human is something that should be spread. Thank you for your help

I called to have a pregnant dog rescued from some one abandoning her here in the county who looks to be full term and will have puppies any day now. I was directed to call another number if it was an emergency which i deemed it so, The Head of my company where the dog had been staying for about 3 days now decided to take her to the shelter himself. Took her to the shelter only to find out it's a kill station. How heart breaking... Why as a rescue shelter, no kill, foster base rescue organization would your emergency number be to a kill station???

We had to surrender our cat, who was having problems with our small child. Friends of Madera Animal Shelter was the only place we could find to surrender our cat without paying a massive fee. Don't bother filling out the online form on the website, the people who work there don't see it, but I called in and was able to very quickly bring my cat in for inspection on a Monday morning. Diana was very professional and over the course of a week took care of my cat and eventually put him in a pet store to find a new home. These people do excellent work, I would highly recommend their services.
