Understanding your situation

At Special Paws Cat Rescue, we know that surrendering a cat is never an easy choice. We will not judge you, no matter the circumstances. We are here to support you throughout the process. We value transparency and honesty about your situation, so we can provide the best possible care for your cat. If you wish, we can provide updates on how your cat is doing.

Why choose special paws?

Special Paws Cat Rescue offers a network of loving and experienced foster homes ready to provide your cat with the care and environment they deserve. Our foster homes are equipped to handle cats from all backgrounds and temperaments. We allow your cat time to decompress and assess their needs before providing any necessary treatment. Once ready, we dedicate ourselves to finding the perfect forever home for them, carefully matching them with adopters based on strict criteria.

The surrender process

To surrender your cat to Special Paws Cat Rescue, we require a completed surrender form, along with background information on the circumstances and your cat's health. We will assess which foster home best suits your cat's needs. If accepted, we will arrange for you to bring your cat to us. We require confirmation of the sign-over of ownership. We strive to make the surrender process as easy and pain-free as possible, understanding the distress involved.
