BEFORE submitting a stray application with us, please consider these questions:

1. Are they FERAL?

We can only place/adopt out cats that are able to live indoors as socialized pets. We are not equipped to take in feral cats. CLICK HERE for an article on FERAL VS STRAY.

​

IF FERAL: There are several resources further down on this page that may be better suited to your situation.

​

2. Have you explored other resources?

Even if you fill out our application, please reach out to other organizations too and explore all options so the cat(s) can have the highest chance of getting help.

​​​

3. Can you help find a foster?

We are more likely able to help if you are able to foster the cat(s) or find someone to foster until we can get them any necessary medical care and adopt them out.

Provide as many details as you can in order for us to determine how we can help you. Please consider making a donation if at all possible. Everything helps.
