Welcome to Friends of the Animal Center Foundation

Meet Simpson! Simpson would like to thank everyone for their generous donations to animals like him. Donations to FACF provide funding for advanced medical treatments for animals like Simpson, as well as their needs while in foster care.

Simpson was recently surrendered to the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center with a leg fracture. With FACF donations Simpson was able to receive a pin in his leg in hopes of avoiding amputation. After 6 weeks of strict cage rest, Simpson will receive followup x-rays to determine the condition of his leg. It is unknown at this time if his leg will recover or need additional surgery.

Please consider donating to FACF today to help animals like Simpson

A Note from the Executive Director:

First of all, I have to thank everyone for making FACF possible! This is an incredible organization that I am truly fortunate to be a part of! I understand we have some interesting days ahead of us, but I’m looking forward to meeting all the generous people who have given their time and donations to help FACF and our mission. Please don’t hesitate to call, email, or stop by the office any time! stephanie@facf.org or call 319-541-6390

A little about me, I was born in Iowa City, and grew up in Washington, IA. I attended the University of Iowa and eventually made Iowa City my home in 2015. My love for all animals has always been a big part of my personal life, but I struggled to find an opportunity to incorporate animals into my professional life. The stars were definitely aligned when this opportunity at FACF came up, and for that I will be forever grateful.

And of course, what is an intro without the furbabies! You will find a picture of my boys on the staff page, Enzo and Mantecore. They were dressed in their best ties for Monte’s Birthday party. The horses pictured here with me are my girls Birdie and Bonnet. Sadly, I said goodbye to Bonnet little over a year ago at the ripe old age of 32! Birdie has taken over as my riding partner and we have had many adventures together!

A big thank you again to everyone supporting FACF. We couldn’t do it without you!
