To understand Cat-A-Thon 2024 and why it is so important we must first tell you a little about what we do: 


Friends of Felines Rescue Center is a non-profit cat rescue that receives no government funding.  We exist through donations from people around the world.  These are our Friends.  Without our Friends, we simply couldn’t do what we do: 

FFRC is where dedication meets passion in our mission to rescue and improve the lives of feline companions. Our mission is to stay committed to the highest standards of care, ensuring that every feline friend receives the love and attention they deserve. 


Beyond rescue, we proudly offer low-cost spay and neuter services to the community through our relationship with Humane Ohio, contributing to a healthier feline population. 

Since our founding in 1999, we have built a reputation in Defiance, Ohio and Northwestern, Ohio as a cat rescue making a positive change in how society sees and treats our feline friends.  We aim to inspire and motivate people to help create a world where the happiness and well-being of all cats matter to everyone. 

In 2010, we started a 24/7 web cam so we could reach a world-wide audience and educate others on responsible cat care. 

Our story is one of heart, purpose, and a deep-seated commitment to providing cats with a haven where their well-being is of the greatest importance.

Now that you know a little about us, in the next few days we will go over how Cat-A-Thon 2024 works.  But the end result is to Make Friends that will help us help our cats and hope our Friends know that Our Cats are Your Cats.

Join us on this journey where every purr, every play, and every pawprint tells a story of hope and resilience. It’s not just about saving lives; it’s about creating a legacy of love for our feline companions.


Because without our Friends, where would Our Cats be?
