Initially caring for West Marin County feral cats through Trap/Neuter/Return/Feed & Monitor/Kitten Socializing & Adoption programs. Kathy Runnion founded Planned Feralhood in 2002 to address the needs of an exploding feral cat population in our community of Point Reyes Station.

We accomplished the mission of a zero feral cat population after 16 years of providing these programs free of charge. In August 2018 we closed all those programs, and turned our focus to the shelter and care of 47 cats whom were in sanctuary with us at that time.

Presently (March 2023) we have 11 cats who we still provide for. We are committed to their lifetime care, and provide hospice and burial for them when the time comes.

These are cats who have been deemed unadoptable for reasons of behavioral issues or special needs. They are cared for by Kathy Runnion, our Executive Director and Chief Volunteer, at her rental home in Point Reyes Station. She takes no wage and performs all duties, including fundraising to provide the cats with food, shelter, and veterinary and hospice care.
