Boston’s Forgotten Felines is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014 and led by a dedicated group of volunteers. Based in the Boston area, our mission is to reduce the number of cats and kittens living on the streets and ensure every cat goes to a loving home. Over 30 years ago, BFF’s founder, Joni Nelson, began feeding feral cats on the streets of Boston. A year later, she was working on TNR’ing hundreds of cats and setting up feeding stations for the ferals. At one point, Joni and her friends were feeding 200 cats at 69 locations across the city each day. Today, BFF now has a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status with dedicated volunteers of all ages. In April 2025, we lost our founder.
