FOCAS Rescue & Transport Program
FOCAS helps coordinate rescue efforts with shelter staff members to place adoptable animals who are deemed to be especially difficult to place for reasons such as age, physical condition, size or breed. The
goal is to adopt them to a specialized rescue organization that will work with each animal individually to
place it into a permanent home. The transport of the animals is done by a member of the FOCAS rescue team.
FOCAS Adoption (Cats & Bunnies) Program - PETCO
This FOCAS program brings animals to the local community. The same adoption criteria and processes
apply at offsite adoptions (PETCO) that apply at the participating shelters.
FOCAS "Low-Cost" Feral/Stray Cat Trap & Spay/Neuter Program
The FOCAS Help Line 201-943-4019 provides follow-up calls by phone counselors. The program provides funding and assistance for trapping and spay/neuter of feral and stray cats. FOCAS also provides low cost spay neuter referrals for owned pets. There is a $20 donation requested per cat to help off-set admit costs.
FOCAS Foster Care Program for Infant, Medical or Speical Needs Animals
Infant, medical and special needs animals require time and attention that cannot always be given in the
