The NFCFA has had very few breed rescues over the past 20+ years and this is due in part to the NFCFA Code of Ethics that our Breeders sign and stand by. In most cases if a cat has to be given up for adoption it is done through the breeder.

If you know of a pure bred Norwegian Forest Cat that needs to be rescued, please inform the Primary Regional Contact (listed on the About NFCFA Officers page) by choosing your location below.

If you are interested on adopting, please fill our our adoption form to tell us more about you, so we can place you with the correct cat. We will also be able to notify you when cats are available.
