About Fur and Feather

We are in a very rural county in western New Mexico that has no animal control at all until we started trying to make a difference here in the fall of 2003.  Early in the spring of 2006 we became incorporated as a non-profit facility.  We concentrate on rescuing lost and abandoned animals and helping out when people die or become incapable of caring for their pets. We are proud of our senior program, helping elderly people with unforeseen expenses and care.

Our biggest focus is neutering everything that passes through our hands.  By the end of 2006, we had been able to spay, neuter, and place over 330 animals.  As of Winter 2011, our numbers are more than 1300 animals spayed and neutered. We have puppies, kittens,adult dogs and cats,all spayed, neutered and ready to go. Here at Fur and Feather you will find that we pride ourselves in rating these animals for their ability to be with children, cats, horses, other dogs and poultry. The biggest hurdle we are always facing is getting enough funding to keep things going to take care of the nearly 300 dogs and cats in our care. We gratefully accept donations of food, bedding, toys, fencing materials and cash. We are always happy to make appointments for visitors as we love for people to see our facility and meet our animals. Happily, we are making a difference one critter at a time.

Come out and see us in 2012!

Weekly, we make the trip to the Ark of Soccoro Animal Hospital with a carload of dogs and cats to be altered. Sometimes it doesn't seem like enough, but this spring we saw a noticable decline in the numbers of kittens and puppies that have come across our doorstep needing homes. We want to thank the veterinarians and staff at the Ark for their caring generosity in this effort.
