Caring For Cats – Cat Surrender Process
Need to surrender a cat?
We know you love cats and you want to save them all…. and we love you for it! Our passion for helping cats is what brings us together. However, we do have a formal intake process that we need everyone to follow.
If you need to surrender a cat that is in your possession, please follow these steps:
Contact us using one of the following methods
-
- Call the main shelter phone number at 651-407-8485. Follow the prompts and leave a message with the answering service, even if the recording indicates that the shelter is full.
- Send a private message through our Facebook page.
A staff member will reach out to you, typically within 48-72 hours. Please be prepared to provide as much information as possible about the cat and the circumstances surrounding the surrender.
Do not bring the cat directly to the shelter without an appointment.
Do not reach out to any of our volunteers to try to initiate a surrender, you must follow one of the two options above.
Please be aware that we do not accept cats through third-party intermediaries. The owner or finder of the cat(s) must initiate contact with our shelter.
If the owner is deceased, a family member or the personal representative of the deceased owner should reach out to Caring for Cats.
Please note we are unable to accept feral cats.
We do not offer TNR services.

WHY BE A SPONSOR?
Maybe you can’t take in another cat.
Maybe you’re compassionate but allergic.
Maybe you want to do more.
In those cases, please consider being a sponsor.
Several of our cats have special needs or are older, making it challenging to place them in permanent homes. By sponsoring these cats you can help us provide food, shelter, and healthcare for these wonderful animals, who need all the love and care we can give them.
CLICK HERE to become a sponsor. After you’ve filled out the form, there will be an area where you can specify the category of cats you would like to sponsor.
Your recurring donation makes a huge difference in the lives of our kitties. Even $5 a month helps to offset the costs of feeding and cleaning expenses.
No donation is too small.
You are making a difference.
We appreciate your support and so do the kitties.
