Cat Surrender Assistance
Surrender requests require prior review and approval. Never bring or leave a cat at the shelter without authorization.
Surrender Fees
Fees help cover required vaccinations and intake care.
Records and Intake
Provide complete veterinary records, including rabies-vaccination documentation when required by the current intake policy. The shelter will confirm exactly what documentation is needed during review.
Do not arrange vaccinations or treatment solely for surrender without first speaking with the shelter unless the cat needs immediate veterinary care.
When Surrender May Not Be the Best Solution
For behavior concerns, speak with a veterinarian and a qualified feline behavior professional. For medical concerns, contact a veterinarian promptly. Pain, illness, fear, and environmental stress can cause sudden behavior changes.
Self-Service Rehoming Options
When the shelter cannot accept a cat, a direct rehoming service may help you safely find a new home while the cat remains with you.
Screen potential adopters carefully, disclose known medical and behavior information, and transfer veterinary records.
