HSSF Takes Possession of over 100 Scottish Fold cats from Failed Breeding Operation

In February, 2025, the Humane Society of the Sierra Foothills took possession of over 100 medically compromised Scottish Fold cats from a failing breeding operation. In caring for these cats, we began learning that this specific breed is prone to many illnesses, including something called Scottish Fold OsteoChondroDysplasia (SFOCD) which can mean chronic pain!!

This Got Us Thinking…In the larger view, there are dozens, possibly hundreds of Scottish Fold cat breeders in the U.S. who are profiting by breeding cats into a life of pain. We’ve decided to fight for a future where no cat is bred into a life of unnecessary and preventable suffering, so we created “Mission Fold” – an advocacy and data collection program with this goal: Their pain will not be in vain!
