FLUFF

FLUFF is a foster-based animal rescue organization located in Nashville, TN, and its surrounding areas. The organization primarily focuses on rescuing orphaned kittens that are too young to survive in shelters or on the streets. Additionally, FLUFF provides support for kittens and cats requiring medical attention, which other shelters or rescues may not be able to provide[1][3][5].

Focus

While FLUFF is not exclusively a breed-specific rescue, it places a significant emphasis on assisting the large population of Persian, Himalayan, and Exotic Shorthair cats in need[1]. The organization operates under the philosophy of "if we can help, we will," which drives its mission to support vulnerable feline populations.

Education and Community Engagement

A key component of FLUFF's mission is education and community outreach. The organization actively promotes the benefits of spaying and neutering among pet owners, both for individual pets and the broader community. FLUFF ensures that all adoptable pets are spayed or neutered before adoption, unless a medical condition necessitates a temporary delay. In such cases, the organization follows up to ensure that the procedure is ultimately performed[1].

FLUFF also checks the spay/neuter status of pets in applicant households, providing educational resources and facilitating spay/neuter surgeries when needed. The leadership of FLUFF has participated in numerous spay/neuter clinics and financially supports Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives within the community[1].

Funding and Support

FLUFF encourages community involvement and support through various initiatives, such as linking shopping rewards cards to benefit the organization[2].
