Adoption Process
Mission Statement
February Star Sanctuary (FSS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, family-run sanctuary with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and provide refuge for horses and cats in need. We improve the overall health and quality of life for horses and cats by addressing issues such as animal abandonment, animal abuse, cat overpopulation and the high numbers of shelter intake and euthanasia. February Star Sanctuary achieves success through equine and feline adoptions, fostering and refuge, TNR services and caring for cats of homeless women, families and victims of domestic violence. To help vulnerable members of our community, we also host several outreach programs for underprivileged youth, senior citizens in nursing homes and disabled adults and kids.
We believe rescue isn't just a verb, it's a promise.
