Friends of Felines is an all-volunteer non-profit feral cat advocate organization located on Hatteras Island, North Carolina.  We are dedicated to improving the lives of feral and community cats and humanely reducing their numbers over time utilizing the Trap-Neuter-Return method (TNR).  TNR has proven to be the most effective and only humane method of dealing with cat overpopulation.  It benefits the cats and the Hatteras Island community.

Not only does the program improve the quality of life for feral and free-roaming cats, it results in a significant decrease in the number of cats euthanized in animal shelters.

FOFHI achieved non-profit status in 2009; since that time, over 3,000 felines have benefited from the TNR program.  Friends of Felines-Cape Hatteras Island is the only non-profit animal organization serving the island’s 5,000 residents with an actively practicing TNR program.
