Saving Graces 4 Felines is a
non-profit organization formed
to help stray, abandoned, and
feral cats who have no home and
are left to fend for themselves
in less than desirable
environments.
The mutual love that all members
of our organization have for
these wonderful animals is
behind the organizing of this
effort.
Find out more about the
founders.
Saving Graces 4 Felines is
always looking for those very
special people who choose to
open their homes to fostering.
We couldn’t do what we do
without our wonderful foster
parents! Fostering kittens or
special-needs cats gives those
felines the opportunity to
discover what it means to be
loved and cared for. Sometimes
it can make all the difference
in how an abused cat perceives
humanity; and fostering can
transform a timid, neglected cat
into a loving, vital, family
member.

These fosters have found
forever homes.
SG4F trains potential foster
parents so that they will know
what to expect and how to handle
any emergency situations that
may arise. We provide all
medical care and supplies for
the fostered cats, and give any
back up or support the foster
parents feel they need. We make
arrangements for the foster
cats/kittens to be shown for
adoption at Petsmart, to receive
spay or neuter surgery, and to
be vaccinated and combo tested.
The cats who need fostering may
include: bottle-fed kittens;
mother cats with their newborn,
nursing kittens; kittens too
young for adoption; kittens who
are semi-feral and need taming;
cats recovering from major
surgery or long illness; cats
with special needs, such as
those having tested positive for
FIV, or those having continual
bouts of gum disease, or those
recovering from leg amputation;
cats who are especially timid
and need a lot of attention and
tender affection; elderly cats
who don’t fair well among a
large group of cats; cats who
are grieving the loss of their
previous owners or homes, and
who have become very depressed;
and cats who will not eat
without coaxing.
The biggest need of each foster
cat or kitten is to be loved! If
you are interested in learning
more about fostering with SG4F,
or if you already know that this
is something you would like to
do, please email

Sometimes a name fits a
cat perfectly. Such is
the case with our
darling little Hope. We
don’t know if she
started out as someone’s
pet, or if she was born
in a feral colony. But
when we found Hope, she
had been living among a
large colony of stray,
feral, and abandoned
cats. What made her
different is that she
would meow at the person
feeding her, and feral
cats don’t usually do
that. Hope found herself
in a desperate
situation, and once
Saving Graces 4 Felines
realized her plight, we
quickly came to her
rescue. She was a very
young mother kitty,
defending her babies
from a vicious dog
attack. Tragically, she
could only save one
kitten--a black male we
named Sparrow. (He was
adopted quickly after
his rescue.) Hope risked
her own life to protect
that little kitten. The
dog mauled her back leg
beyond saving. He tore
off her top lip and
several teeth, and
crushed her nose on both
sides with his huge
fangs. Though
semi-feral, Hope never
tried to bite or scratch
the SG4F's volunteers
who came to her aid and
took her to the vet. She
seemed to understand
that they were just
trying to help her. She
had a long recovery,
with a lot of
medication, but she
accepted the care
graciously, never
harming the ones
treating her injuries
and infection. Now, Hope
does very well on three
legs, and she is VERY
fast. Her nose has since
healed, though it is a
little flat and you can
hear her breathe. Her
upper lip has healed as
well. Hope is a tiny
thing--not more than 5
lbs. in weight. She will
not allow anyone to hold
her, but perhaps in time
she will learn to trust
a special person. She
deserves a second chance
at life, because she
valiantly fought and
risked her young life to
save her babies. If
someone out there has a
heart as big as Hope's,
won't you give her the
chance at happiness that
she deserves? It might
take awhile to win her
trust and her heart, but
she has proven her
worth. She is an
amazing, beautiful,
brave little kitty.
