Ellas Feline Rescue Mission

Ellas Feline Rescue Mission is a No-Kill rescue devoted to the welfare of cats in the Greater Springfield area. Our mission is to give homeless cats the love and care they deserve, through appropriate vet care, rehabilitation where needed, and finding loving Forever Homes that are committed to meeting the needs of a particular cat for the duration of its life.We are particularly committed to helping the most vulnerable cats, those whose medical or behavioral needs would lead to euthanasia or dying a painful death if abandoned. We also have a strong commitment to preventing further homelessness and abandonment, through helping pet owners access spay/neuter services and community vet care, providing behavioral support to pet owners who are struggling with challenging behavior, and making the surrender process as easy as possible.EFRM was started by a husband-and-wife team who is passionate about animal welfare. We have been involved in animal rescue, both individually and together, for nearly 20 years. We decided to take our rescue work a step further and begin our own mission in response to the overwhelming number of homeless cats that have come through our property alone.We were inspired to take action primarily by our adopted cat, Eden, whose life we literally saved when she showed up on our porch in deplorable condition. An underlying medical condition led to skin problems, digestive problems, and severe inflammation of the mouth and she had been in constant pain after being abandoned to a life outside. With proper vet care, a lot of patience and affection, and a safe place to live, she has blossomed into a healthy, playful, affectionate cat.Eden’s story is sadly not unique. Many cats are abandoned to painful and fearful lives on the streets. We are committed to meeting the unique needs of every cat we are able to care for. We value individual lives and are committed to a No-Kill mission. Our name is in honor of our beloved cat, Ella, who passed away on December 2, 2021.
