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 4700 cats, funded 3300 spay/neuter surgeries and arranged over 1900 adoptions.
Today, TFFF is focused on bringing free spay/neuter to all Taos County cats and dogs through the operation of its own veterinary clinic in El Prado, NM. The clinic is expected to open in March 2024.
Our Mission
1. Prevent the inhumane treatment of cats and dogs
