About Us
Our Mission
Dedicated volunteers and
community leaders
The Feline Rescue Association (FRA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of cats throughout the Baltimore metropolitan area. Founded in June 2007, FRA operates through a network of foster homes and passionate volunteers committed to rescuing and rehabilitating stray, abandoned, neglected, and feral cats in underserved communities across Baltimore.
We serve a vulnerable cat population that often has no one else to advocate for them. Our work includes rescue, medical care, rehabilitation, adoption services, and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs for community cats in need. When resources permit, we also rescue at-risk cats from local shelters who may face euthanasia due to age, medical conditions, overcrowding, or limited shelter capacity.

The Park Heights Animal
Welfare Group
Through our Park Heights Animal Welfare Group (PHAWG), FRA provides ongoing care for community cat colonies in the Park Heights neighborhood. This work includes daily feeding, veterinary care, TNR services, and emergency support for sick or injured cats.
Caring for these cats requires significant resources. Food, medical treatment, and supplies create ongoing expenses, and many of our dedicated volunteers contribute hundreds of dollars from their own pockets each month to ensure the cats receive the care they need. For some volunteers, these costs exceed $400 per month—and many volunteers share this commitment throughout the community.

Our Vintage Cats of Baltimore program celebrates senior cats while also providing lifelong care for cats who need ongoing support. Many of the cats in this program are older adults, while others are younger cats who, due to medical conditions, disabilities, or other special circumstances, remain in the permanent care of the Feline Rescue Association.
Some of these cats are still looking for loving adoptive homes, while others are cherished permanent fosters or receive compassionate fospice care, ensuring they are surrounded by comfort, love, and dignity for the rest of their lives. The program also provides a safe haven for cats from PHAWG colonies who can no longer be returned because of illness, injury, or other special needs.
Every cat deserves to be loved, regardless of age or medical condition. Through the Vintage Cats of Baltimore program, we are committed to giving Baltimore's most vulnerable cats the second chance—and lifelong care—they deserve.
Together, we can make a difference for Baltimore's most vulnerable cats.
