How space coast feline network began

Founded as 'Space Cats Club' at Kennedy Space Center, SCFN began when KSC workers sought a humane alternative to the 'trap and kill' approach once used to control the area's feral cat colonies. Formed in1989, the group pioneered a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program that saved lives and stabilized cat populations.

Over the years, SCFN has rescued hundreds of cats and kittens, found loving homes for countless companions, and expanded efforts through Brevard County. Today, our dedicated volunteers provide spay/neuter services, vetting and ongoing care for community cats.

Our Mission Today

Space Coast Feline Network (SCFN) has grown into a county-wide effort dedicated to the care and protection of Brevard’s community cats. With the help of compassionate volunteers and valued partners like Alley Cat Allies and Brevard County Sheriff’s Animal Services, we proudly provide:

• Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)

• Ongoing support for feral cat colonies

• Education and resources for community cat caregivers

Our mission is grounded in compassion, backed by science, and fueled by the belief that every cat deserves a chance. Together, we’re building a safer, more humane future for Brevard’s feral and abandoned cats.

Frequently asked questions

How do I adopt a cat?

Begin by filling out our adoption application online. Once reviewed, a volunteer will reach out to discuss the next step in the adoption process. Once an application is approved, we’ll schedule a visit to meet the cat(s) you’re interested in.

What is included in the adoption fee?

All cats are fully vetted — FeLV/FIV tested, examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. our cats are microchipped, given dewormer and flea prevention. Our adoption fee helps us cover these costs and provide continued support for the cats in our care. 

Can I adopt a shy or feral cat?

Yes! That’s our specialty. We’ll guide you through the process to make sure it’s the right match. Some cats are wonderful candidates for barn homes or very patient households, while others may need more time and socialization. We are always honest about each cat’s needs and will work to set both the cat and their new family up for success. We also have several frienly and socialized cats and kittens available as well.

Do you have kittens available for adoption?

When we have kittens ready for adoption, you’ll find them available on our website, at the Titusville Pet Supermarket in Titus Landing inside the in-store Cat Tower and at adoption events. This gives the public a chance to meet them directly.

Do you accept owner surrenders?

No, we do not. There are several local rescues that accept owner surrenders. Please contact them directly regarding their policies and wait list availablity.
