Making a compassionate choice for your cat
Understanding the weight of your decision, Cat Care and Rescue is here to guide you through the surrender process with compassion and commitment. We recognize the profound responsibility you're entrusting to us and promise to always prioritize your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. Our thorough process ensures we understand your pet's unique history, from medical records to behavioral insights, allowing us to find them the perfect loving home.
Our transparent surrender process
To ensure every cat receives the best possible care and a suitable forever home, we follow a structured surrender process. This allows us to gather all necessary information and prepare for your pet's transition into our foster network.
Submit your application
Start by completing our comprehensive surrender application. This form helps us understand your pet's history and your reasons for surrender, ensuring we can provide the best support. An interview will follow to discuss details.
Provide essential records
We require all available medical records, including vaccination history and any professional attention received, along with detailed behavioral observations. This information is crucial for their future care.
Arrange safe transfer & fee
Once approved, we'll confirm the surrender details, including arranging transportation for your pet to join our foster network and discussing any associated surrender fees. We strive for a smooth transition.
Patience for a perfect placement
As a no-kill, foster-based rescue, our capacity is limited by the availability of loving foster homes. If immediate surrender isn't possible, we understand this can be challenging. Please trust in our expertise and commitment: a temporary wait ensures your pet receives the dedicated resources and ideal environment they deserve. Continue to provide them with care and love during this waiting period, knowing we are working to secure their future.
What we need to know about your pet
To best prepare for your pet's arrival and find their ideal forever home, we need comprehensive information. This includes their name, age, gender, and breed, the reason for surrender, a detailed behavioral history, and all past medical records. The more we know, the better we can care for them.
Why waiting benefits your pet
Our foster-based model means every pet receives individualized attention in a home environment before adoption. This personalized approach, while sometimes requiring a waiting period, ensures we can truly understand each pet's personality and needs, leading to a successful, lifelong match. Your patience directly contributes to their best possible outcome.
