Our History
Taos Feral Feline Friends (TFFF) is a 501c-3 charitable association promoting animal welfare throughout Northern New Mexico. TFFF was founded in June 2004 by Leanne Mitchell. Leanne has over 25 years experience working with animal welfare organizations in Illinois and New Mexico.
TFFF is unique: it is a 100% volunteer organization and the only charity in Northern New Mexico that rescued, sheltered and found new homes for feral cats. In 2005, TFFF initiated the area's first Trap, Neuter, and Return program to assist outdoor cat caregivers by providing free spay/neuter surgeries, vet care, and food for feral cats. From inception, we've helped over 7,000 cats and dogs, funded over 5,600 spay/neuter surgeries and arranged over 1,900 adoptions.
In May 2024, TFFF opened the first all-volunteer, brick-and mortar free veterinary clinic in New Mexico, offering spay/neuter to all cats and dogs in Taos County. The clinic, now managed by Spay Taos, continues serving the Taos community.
