Agee Memorial Wildlife Fund, Inc., (Agee) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) (Federal ID # 88-0435331) organization dedicated to ending animal suffering by rescuing homeless animals, providing them with a safe haven, addressing their nutrition and medical needs, and especially finding them loving lifelong homes they deserve.
Every animal we rescue receives sanctuary at our rescue facility, veterinary exam(s), ongoing veterinary care, vaccines, spaying, neutering, micro chipping, and any other medical aid that the rescued animal may need. We are committed to help end animal over population and communicable diseases by saving as many homeless animals as our finances will allow and educating the public regarding responsible animal care.
Please help Agee continue to help animals in need by donating today, volunteering, working in the community to promote humane preventative animal care (spay, neuter, vaccines.)
Oscar came from the trailer park trash cats we rescued in Sacramento. He is a Bombay (very solid, taunt black fur). He is a very, very affectionate cat, just starved for human interaction, but not crazy about other cats (or at least not as many as are at the sanctuary.)
Oscar is a super loving and sweet cat. We thought he was a feral when he came to us since he was lashing out at people and angry from being given up. In fact, he still complains to anyone that will listen (or not) as he never is quiet! He would make a fabulous outdoor/indoor kitty, is very possessive of his people (whoever is lucky enough to adopt him). Please come see the infamous, Oscar, and let him tell you stories about his days at the park!

Thanks to all of you who were able to come out to help plant and clean on Saturday. We had about 30 volunteers in all! There were groups from Ponderosa High's ROP Animal Health class and from Vista Del Lago's Key Club, as well as many regular volunteers along with their family and friends.
We planted about 40-50 5-gallon redwood trees and shrubbery. New hay was scattered, all the rooms were scrubbed shiny clean and the storage rooms were reorganized. The kitties received plenty of love as well. We still have the boat to clean and detail, but it was too wet to get started on that project.
It was a fun-filled, hard working day, but I think everyone enjoyed spending time together for a common good!
Thanks again, Trish

In January, the Agee Memorial Wildlife Fund assisted in a project to rescue about 25 to 30 cats living at a Sacramento trailer park that was slated to be bulldozed on January 15, 2010. Pictures tell the story of the horrible conditions the cats were living in. There were only two human tenants left, at the time the rescue began, the rest having been evicted and having to leave their beloved pets to starve to death or be crushed under rubble. One of the saddest aspects to this story is that it wasn't their intention to just leave them, they, themselves had nowhere to live either.
Fat Kitty City is at full capacity (to overflowing) and without a huge donation in which to expand our sanctuary we could not take in an additional 30 cats at the time. AMWF was working with Best Friends Animal Society and the Coalition for Community Cats (C4CC) to help get the word out about the pathetic situation these cats were living in and to raise funding to help spay or neuter, shots, testing, etc, to prepare them for adoption, or temporary foster homes to give them a place to stay until we could find permanent homes.
We started a fund just for this project calling it the "Trailer Park Trash Cats". Any funds earmarked for this program are going towards not only the cats' medical needs, but to pay for their boarding, food, litter to anyone that opened their homes to these cats on a temporary basis.
We needed to act quickly to get the cats out of their horrible situation. Time was running out. The city of Sacramento would not cooperate with us and was locking the gates on January 15, no matter how many cats were left. At the time before the rescue, they were barely being fed, there was broken glass scattered all over the place (one of the cats had an injured paw and several were sick, which can be seen in the photos).
The friendly cats were to be run through PetSmart in order to find a new home. Our hope, depending on how many people can help, is that any cats deemed not adoptable, will either be placed in barn cat situation or we might be able to house them here at Fat Kitty City, depending on the numbers. Can you help? No donation is too small!

Update 02/27/10:
This is Teddy. He is one of the Trailer Park cats and is adjusting quite well to life at Agee. He isn't up for adoption because he is feral. He is up for being sponsored though!
Update 02/12/10:
We still need to find homes for several outdoor kitties from the trailer park. Many of them are just languishing in foster homes because the are fearful and would prefer to be in an outdoor, reliable barn/farm situation. Please let us know if you can provide an outdoor home for these kitties.
Update 01/21/10:
Below are before and after pictures of one of the cats rescued from the trailer park. He is now safely with his foster parents being well taken care of.
The kitty in the pictures below is named Cydney, (Cyd) for short. She is one of the trailer park rescue kitties and is available for adoption. Cydney is appx. eight months old; she is a sweetheart and very starved for affection. Cydney is receiving lots of love and attention in her foster home and is now looking for her forever home.
Update 01/09/10:
We spent the day trapping at the Trailer Park. In total, 20 cats have been rescued so far, two have been adopted, and several are in foster homes. We want to thank Melinda for her dedication to the cats and her support in making this happen, and a special thanks to Joe, Kim, Bonnie, Paula, Julie and Janet. We've added more pictures of the conditions in the trailer park.
Here are some of the rescue kitties:
Here are some pictures of today's rescue:

Update 01/05/10:
Ten cats have been rescued so far from the trailer park. We don't yet know how many are left to be rescued. Two of the ten are young cats (about 6 months old). They will be up at the old PetsMart in Folsom this weekend (1/8/10) for anyone interested in adopting them. They are both sweet and loving cats! (the "old" PetSmart is off East Bidwell near Home Depot - 2705 E Bidwell St - Folsom, CA 95630 - (916) 984-4748)
Here is a picture of the two 6 month old kitties who will be at PetSmart this weekend! (See more pictures on the Cats for Adoption page.)
Great News! Both of the kitties have been adopted, together!
We have great news; BB King has been adopted and he headed for his new home in Huntington Beach last month! Here are some pictures of him in his new home!
