Felius Cat Café Launches New Cat Rescue

In November, Felius Cat Café (felius.org) announced that they would take their organization to the next level by launching their own feline rescue: Felius Rescue. Previously, Felius only held a cat shelter license, focusing on providing a care-free environment for adoptable cats. Felius Rescue expands the organization’s reach and impact on the Omaha community, further establishing Felius’ place on the front lines of cat rescue efforts.

“The timing was perfect to take a leap and to launch our very own rescue,” said Felius Founder and President Bre Phelan. “It’s the next logical step in fulfilling our mission. Now, we’ll be able to serve the Omaha metro with a more holistic model for feline care and advocacy.”

The launch of Felius Rescue signals the third phase of the organization’s multi-pronged outreach efforts. Felius Cat Café opened in September 2018 to match adoptable cats with permanent homes, eclipsing 100 adoptions by its one-year anniversary. In September 2019, Felius launched a second phase, introducing its Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program to assist in efforts to humanely control the area’s feral cat population. Expanding into rescue, Phelan says, addresses a critical facet of care in the community and provides Felius Cat Café with opportunities to increase operational efficiency and, ultimately, boost adoptions.

The main mission at Felius Cat Café is to match their resident adoptable cats with a new forever home. All cats in their facility are adoptable through Felius Rescue. To adopt, simply fill out an online application at felius.org/adopt. All applicants are subject to review, including a home visit. Visit the Felius website to learn more or call (402) 502-7650.
