FieldHaven Feline Center

It all started in 2003 with a barn and a handful of feral cats. Word got out that sisters Jann Flanagan and Joy Smith were on a mission to rescue cats. Operating out of a trailer located on a private horse ranch in a rural area of Lincoln, California, the sisters established FieldHaven Feline Center, a safe haven for local cats and kittens until they were adopted.

By 2008, the community’s needs were greater and FieldHaven’s facilities were small. A campaign to raise funds to build a state-of-the-art cat center was launched and completed in 2011. The shelter facility was created in cooperation with the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program; the innovative design is recognized worldwide as a model for improving the health, safety, and adoptability of rescued felines.

We aren't just about adoptions. Our goal is to enhance the lives of cats and their owners and caregivers by offering programs to Lincoln and surrounding communities that fulfill their needs.
