Friends for Life Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit companion animal rescue operating through a network of foster homes across Skagit, San Juan, Snohomish, Island, and Whatcom counties. They take in abandoned cats, owner surrenders, and feral kittens caught young enough to socialize, providing medical care, spay/neuter surgeries, and foster placement until permanent homes are found. Adoptions are conducted on an individual basis with available felines fully vetted and microchipped.
Friends for Life Animal Rescue is open Meeting for adoptions on an individual basis by appointment and has adoption fees starting from $200.
$200 (Cash only)
Applicants must complete an adoption questionnaire/application to ensure a good match. Note that adoption fees must be paid in cash.
Complete the cat adoption application (online or via PDF) and submit it by email to adopt.fflar@gmail.com, by fax to 360-630-2374, or in person at an outreach event. Adoptions are arranged on an individual basis.
The adoption fee is $200 (cash only). It includes spaying or neutering, microchipping with contact registration included, parasite treatment (fleas, earmites, worms), and age-appropriate vaccinations.
Typically, available animals have not received a rabies vaccination, and obtaining it becomes the adopter's responsibility post-adoption. However, in select cases, such as adoptions to families living in Canada, the rescue will assist in preparing the pet in accordance with border transport regulations.
The organization does not have a central shelter facility; all animals are cared for in volunteer foster homes located throughout Skagit, San Juan, Snohomish, Island, and Whatcom counties.
At the present time, Friends for Life Animal Rescue is only able to accept cash payments.
Animals entering the program come from various situations, including abandonment, feral litters socialized at a young age, and owner surrenders when families are no longer able to care for them.
