About PFOA
Peninsula Friends of Animals is a no-kill, nonprofit animal welfare group located on the beautiful North Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Our mission:
To prevent the birth of unwanted cats and dogs through progressive spay/neuter and educational programs. And to place as many homeless, neglected or abused animals as possible in safe, loving, permanent homes.
We provide temporary shelter, veterinary care and spay/neutering for rescued cats and dogs, which are fostered until permanent homes can be found. We have spayed and neutered more than 4,030 cats and dogs to date, with almost 600 of those just in 2008. In 10 years, we have managed to alter 631 felines by way of our our Trap-Neuter-Return (T-N-R) program.
Along with the 65-cat adoption center/shelter and the isolation building, which are currently occupied by offices and rescuees, future plans include a lifetime care and emergency center and a memorial garden.
Safe Haven no-kill animal shelter celebrated its grand opening on Feb. 28-29, 2004, with many enthusiastic friends, members and supporters. Good food, good conversations and countless tours of the cat rooms marked both days. Cats and kittens now live in playrooms, large areas decorated with cozy furniture, pillows and climbing trees. Toys and catnip are scattered around the rooms that even have "kitty wallpaper borders." The rooms make both cats and people feel right at home -- the perfect way to make a transition from stray and unwanted status to King or Queen of the Household!
