Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ - Adoption

How does FCPGA rescue cats?

Feral Cat Program of Georgia partners with animal shelters across Georgia to rescue and find homes for lost, stray, and abandoned cats and kittens.

Does FCPGA have a shelter?

FCPGA opened a private shelter in 2025. While most of the cats in our program continue to live in foster homes until they are adopted, the shelter enables us to rescue more cats that require medical attention and close supervision.
