Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I know of a feral cat colony or a feral cat who needs help. What do I do?

A: Please visit our FERAL CAT SOLUTIONS page on ways we can help!

Q: I found a litter of kittens, what do I do?

A: Please call us (1-888-538-9402) or email us immediately!

Q: I adopted my cat from you and now I can't keep her anymore. What do I do?

A: We will gladly take back any cat or kitten that was adopted out through out organization. In fact, this is a requirement signed in the adoption contract and understandings upon adoption (the cat(s) must be returned to Humanimal Connection). Please CONTACT US immediately or call us at 1-888-538-9402!

Q: I adopted my cat from another organization but can't keep him anymore. What do I do?

A: We would love to help you to re-home your cat. Humanimal Connection can only help you re-home your cat if you agree to Spay or Neuter the cat, test the cat for FIV/FeLV and provide proof of test (please see our LIST OF LOW-COST VACCINATIONS/SPAY & NEUTER CLINICS for where you can receive these services), and provide a safe and loving home for the cat in the indefinite time period it takes for us to find the cat a new home.

Humanimal Connection can help find a new home for the cat; however, we CANNOT TAKE IN CATS that have not been originally adopted out by Humanimal Connection because WE ARE NOT A SHELTER. We are a rescue organization that works with a network of foster homes in our community that are all FULL. If a foster home becomes available, it is most often immediately filled with a rescued cat from a city shelter. Please note that although city shelters (including some Humane Societies) aim to find these rescued animals homes, city shelters are generally not a safe place for most animals.

Here is what Humanimal Connection can do to help you re-home your cat:

We can help by listing your cat on our website and petfinder.com.You are also invited to bring your cat to our adoption fairs and we can help you list your pet on craigslist.com (where we find many of our homeless cats and kittens wonderful homes). In the interm, you would need to find a place to keep your cat until it can be re-homed (i.e. your home or in a friend's home).

If you CANNOT find a temporary home for your cat until it can be re-homed, please see our LIST OF OTHER LOCAL SHELTERSLIST OF OTHER LOCAL SHELTERS for other shelters who may be able to help take your cat. You may also check Save Our Strays for a list of no-kill shelters, by state of residence.

Q: I've lost my cat! What can you suggest for me to help find him?

A: Cats In The Bag Website is a great resource with lots of helpful suggestions for finding your kitty! We hope that you will follow these steps and be reuinted with your kitty soon! Stay hopeful!
