HFC is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization which administers Jake's Place, a cat shelter and adoption center serving the Buffalo, NY metropolitan area and surrounding suburbs. HFC believes that every cat deserves a forever home where they will be loved, safe and healthy. HFC applies and promotes a policy of spaying or neutering, keeping cats indoors for their safety and discouragement of declawing. HFC provides a lifetime return policy for our cats should things not work out in an adopting home.

HFC receives no federal or state funds for support and is solely dependent upon fundraising events, adoption fees, foundation grants and private donations to support its cause. One hundred percent of raised funds and donations are used to purchase food, supplies and provide veterinary care for the cats we shelter at Jake's Place and in foster homes.

Jake's Place is a limited-admissions, no-kill, cage-free cat shelter and adoption center. Each cat remains in our care, either at Jake's Place or in a foster home, until being placed into their forever home. All of our cats are spayed or neutered and receive their necessary vaccines. Every cat is given a thorough check-up each day to identify any potential health problems. Jake's Place has a daily schedule of volunteer feeders, cleaners, and health checkers who see to the needs of the cats and keep them clean, healthy, and happy in a loving, home-like environment while they wait for their forever home.
