Forgotten Felines of Forsyth
Committed to Humanely Reducing the Feral Cat Population of Forsyth County
Forgotten Felines of Forsyth is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, committed to humanely reducing the feral and stray cat population in Forsyth and surrounding counties of North Carolina through a low-cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.
What is a Feral Cat?
A feral cat is a domestic
cat that has developed a natural fear of humans. Most ferals are the result of abandonment
and failure to spay/neuter. By trapping feral cats, having them neutered and vaccinated,
and returning them to their home location (Trap-Neuter-Return), we can greatly reduce the
numbers of unwanted feral and stray cats. TNR lowers the intake and euthanasia rates
at animal shelters, which saves tax dollars and leaves more space at animal shelters for
adoptable cats. TNR also addresses the public health concern about rabies, and reduces
annoying behaviors such as cats fighting and spraying. By clicking on the menu choices to

Register Your
Colony
Are you feeding a group of feral cats in the Winston-Salem, NC area? Have you had them
spayed or neutered? You can help your cats and feral cats throughout the area by
registering your colony in the Forsyth County Feral Cat Database www.forsythferalcat.org
By providing us with information about your colony, you can improve our feral cat
statistics, which in turn can mean more funding opportunities.Your registration
information will remain confidential.
How can you Help?
To provide these services for
the feral cats in our community, Forgotten Felines of Forsyth operates entirely on

Feral or Tame?
Contrary to what you may think, feral cats in managed colonies, such as the ear-notched cat pictured to the left, are healthy and have a good quality of life. Cats in managed colonies are fed and watered daily, have shelter provided, are spayed and neutered as soon as possible, and are vaccinated against rabies and feline distemper.
