Love Your Feral Felines

Love Your Feral Felines Giving cats a second chance at life 🐱
Rescue & adoption nonprofit in Vista, California & surrounding areas This was a dream many years in the making!

Love Your Feral Felines, is a non-profit based organization funded by donors, dedicated to helping the San Diego County homeless cat population. Based in North San Diego County, California, Love Your Feral Felines strives to live by our mission through our many life-saving programs. We focus on educating the public on spaying/neutering and the process of TNR to reduce the number of feral cats and

kittens entering shelters. With TNR, feral and homeless cats are humanely trapped, spayed/neutered, tested, vaccinated, and returned to their original location. The breeding stops, and the behaviors associated with mating stops (spraying, fighting, yowling). TNR is the only long-term, effective humane solution in controlling the feral cat population. We assist local shelters with our Barn Cat Program, where we save feral and semi-feral cats from euthanasia and place them into barn homes where they can help control the rodent population. In May 2017, we started our Under-Socialized Kitten Foster Program focusing on saving kittens deemed “feral” in local shelters from euthanasia. After a few weeks in a foster home, these kittens generally become social and are ready for adoption into their forever indoor homes. From late 2018 through to 2021, Love Your Feral Felines successfully collaborated with Cat & Craft, North San Diego county’s premier cat to adopt kittens from our Foster program. In 2021, we opened our very own LYFF Adoption Facility where our adoptable cats and kittens can hang out until they find their forever homes. Please note our mission is to help cats and kittens in the local shelters system. We cannot accept owner surrenders of cats or kittens at this time.

POV: You closed the door for 2 seconds. 😭🐾

415 days…that’s how long Toby has been waiting for someone to see him and choose him. 😞

At 4 years old, Toby isn't the cat who demands attention the moment you walk by. He takes a little time to settle in and feel safe. But once he does, something special happens—he becomes your shadow, quietly following you from room to room, happiest when he's near his favorite person.

Toby gets along well with other cats, but people are his world. A few pets, a little patience, and a mealtime snack are all it takes to earn his trust. In return, he offers unwavering loyalty and the kind of companionship that makes a house feel like home. 🏡🐾

More than a year has passed while Toby has watched other cats leave for their forever families. We know his day is coming. We just hope it's soon. 🤞

Could you be the person he's been waiting 415 days to meet? Apply to adopt Toby at lyffrescue.com or tag a friend who might be looking for a loyal companion to share their life with. 🤎🐾

This World Pet Memorial Day, we’re remembering the ones we’ve lost. At LYFF, we don’t often talk about the felines we weren’t able to save, but they always leave pawprints on our souls. 💔

Ritter was one of them. He was a sweet, loving senior boy who spent far too much time on the streets. He’s a reminder that even when we try every treatment, every food, and every form of support possible, sometimes we have no choice but to let them go. In those moments, we surround them with love until their last breath, and we carry their names in our hearts forever.

Here’s to Ritter and all the loved ones we’ve lost. We hope you’ll share the names or photos of the kitties you’re remembering in the comments so we can celebrate all of our departed friends. 🌈

Mr. Electric Blue was living as a street cat before he was surrendered to a shelter. But anyone who meets him can see it right away…he was simply too friendly for life on the streets. We don’t know if he once had a family of his own, but it’s hard not to wonder. 😔

What we do know is that this handsome 8-year-old boy still believes in people.

He greets affection with a happy roll onto his side. He loves pets, attention, and being close to his humans. While he’s perfectly content relaxing at home alone, he truly shines when you’re around, happily snuggling beside you while you work or unwind. He’s the kind of companion who quietly makes a house feel more like home. 😻🏡

Mr. Electric Blue has waited long enough for a family to call his own. He deserves a soft bed, gentle hands, and someone who will cherish him for the wonderful cat he is.
