FieldHaven Feline Center’s FieldHaven Animal Support Team (FHAST) responds to disaster incidents by providing emergency shelter and care for cats and other small animals displaced by wildfires, evacuations, or other crises.

FHAST deploys trained volunteers and veterinary staff to offer on-site animal care, transport support, and compassionate assistance to pet owners.

The program prioritizes pet safety and trauma-informed sheltering in collaboration with local emergency response systems.

Services include:

• Emergency animal sheltering for cats and pocket pets during disasters
• On-site and off-site veterinary care for animals requiring medical support
• Transportation assistance for evacuated or rescued animals
• Volunteer response teams trained in FEMA protocols and animal disaster care
• Preparedness education, evacuation guides, and community outreach
