Forever Home Feline Ranch Helps Area
Pet Owners with Much Needed Veterinarian Assistance and Other Support Programs

What can a small group of dedicated; all volunteer people do to improve the lives of the cats in central Illinois? The quick answer is….pay for more than $5,500 in veterinarian services to cats that would otherwise not get the medical assistance they need. In addition to providing traditional spay/neuter assistance, the Forever Home Feline Ranch has partnered with Coble Animal Hospital to provide needed services to both cats and dogs whose owners are not in a position to financially support. These services run the gamut from the critical emergency care to the ordinary flea infestation. However, we recognize that all services provided are both personal and important to the pet owner who is concerned about an ailing friend. The Ranch has even provided end
of life palliative care to cats that cannot overcome their illness or injury. The care provided is aimed at stabilizing and returning the cat to the owner. In the case of rescue situations, the cat is returned to good health and placed in the care of the Forever Home Feline Ranch.

Where does the money come from to pay for these services? 100% of the funds used have been raised through various fundraisers held by the Forever Home Feline Ranch.
The Ranch has a fundraiser at least once a month. Many local businesses have helped tremendously and without whose support would severely limit our ability to help the community. Fundraisers take an incredible effort and a huge amount of time. Yet, they have been the lifeblood for the services we have been able to provide. We have also met some incredibly generous individuals who believe in our efforts to help the cats of central Illinois. The Forever Home Feline Ranch has raised more than $6,000 since August 2009 and we want to thank each and every donor and supporter!

What other services are provided? The Forever Home Feline Ranch has a Pet Food Bank which helps area residents with food and other pet supplies like cat litter, toys, and grooming items for both cats and dogs. Yes, we even deliver these much needed supplies to the pet owners. We offer adoption services and all adoptable pets can be seen on our Web Site or on Petfinder.
There is an off-site adoption every first and third Saturday at
Ace Hardware on Walnut Street from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We
ask for a donation to the Ranch for the adoption service.
A Senior Assistance Program is being developed to help seniors keep their companion pets.

How can you help us continue to provide these services? Once again the quick answer…….donate money! If you donate the money, we will donate all the time it takes to do the rest. Please help us to help the most vulnerable animals obtain the care and support they deserve. The donation page is just a click away! All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.
