Supporting small rescues

to help end the suffering and overpopulation of cats

About Us

Flower Feline Sanctuary was originally founded in 2019 by a mother and daughter team who set out to provide a small oasis on Camano Island in Washington for kitties deemed “unadoptable.” Geri and Diane wanted to make a difference for felines who have limited options in life such as those who are senior, behaviorally challenged or have special needs. The sanctuary was home to over 30 kitties at any given time and countless foster cats who went on to be adopted.

Sadly, Geri passed in 2023 and is deeply missed. Inspired by her mother’s compassion and generosity, Diane remains dedicated to helping abandoned and feral felines and has restructured their nonprofit to support smaller organizations. She relocated to Oregon in 2025.

While Flower Feline Sanctuary is no longer a physical sanctuary, we offer figurative “sanctuary” through crucial funding for the small organizations with “boots on the ground.” Micro rescues throughout Washington, Oregon, and California are encouraged to apply for mini grants to help with spay/neuter costs and assistance with medical care for individual kitties in order to get them adopted. Please email for our guidelines and an application.

Our Mission

Flower Feline Sanctuary supports small rescues with 501c3 status through micro grants to help end the suffering and overpopulation of cats. Spay/neuter, vaccinations, and necessary medical procedures may be covered. 501c3 organizations seeking assistance are encouraged to contact us for our guidelines and an application.

Our Values

We will educate the public about best practices in caring for cats based on our experiences and will always advocate on behalf of cats.
We believe each cat is unique, with their own personality and preferences. Feral versus tame is a gradient scale and never black or white.
We do not believe in euthanizing animals for convenience/lack of space/cost of care, etc. Euthanasia should be the final act of kindness, occurring only when a cat is truly suffering and has no hope of recovery.
We believe in sterilizing all companion animals as long as healthy animals are dying in shelters across the country and throughout the world. We will never condone purchasing animals from for profit breeders.
