Frankie's Friends began providing low-cost veterinary care to the community 12 years ago to financially support over 100 cats that were saved from abuse at Tiger Ranch, a massive, institutionalized hoarding facility. What started as a "medical rescue" and sanctuary for abused cats grew quickly into an organization that provides low or no-cost veterinary services six days per week, including mobile spay/neuter services on weekends to 12 underserved counties across western Pennsylvania. Frankie’s Friends also rehabilitates and rehomes around 500 cats each year as well as provides veterinary forensic expertise and responds to animal cruelty cases for all animal species.
