Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

I live pretty far from West Philly but I live in North Philly. My mother...chased away a mother of 3 week kittens and she took 2 of them to "get back" at the mother that keeps invading her property. I don’t want them getting sick or anything so, is there any way I can receive help as soon as possible?
Hello,
I am in lower Bucks. I have been taking care of two cats outside myself for about a year. I’ve tried to find places to take both of them in. But with kitten season, they’re all booked. The one was someone’s pet and is neutered. The other has not been neutered and is more timid. I’m trying to get them in somewhere before winter. Any suggestions other than the typical shelters in lower Bucks?
Hello There,
I’m hoping u can help us. We found this baby kitten, no more than 7-9 weeks old wondering on our porch 2 weeks ago. The only spare room we have is a room packed with the owner of our homes stuff. It’s warm back there. When we left the window fully open she got out on the little roof next door. Thankfully we heard her & were able to get her down quickly. So now, we can only leave the windows slightly cracked. We have two much older & much, much larger cats. So far they’ve hissed at her. Plus, until we can afford to get her fully checked out for everything we don’t really want to put them all together. We know our two are fine but I’m not sure the little one is. But we couldn’t leave a baby out on the street. We have looked for a mother & other babies & found nothing. This was a few days after that big storm we had. I’m wondering if she was separated from her Momma then maybe & was carried kind of far possibly? Who knows? We just need some help & hopefully she can find a better home. It’s not right where she’s at because of our other cats. I want to do the best thing for her. If you can’t help maybe you can steer me the right direction. I so appreciate all you do & any help you could offer us. Thank you.

Hello City Kitties!
I need urgent help with 3 cats.
I had to move and I have been taking care of these outside cats since March. There were a few more but they moved on.
In April one cat had 5 kittens. I found the kittens fantastic homes with a lot of help and all 3 have been TNR. I had a kitte playpen for momma etc and all 3 cats are litter trained.
The problem is that no one else will feed them. 2 other people are moving, 1 is allergic and there is a bunch of crap in front of the fence near the alley (cleaned several times) so I'd have trouble putting food in the gate (someone else offered, hard to reach). I still work somewhat close.
I live in Grays Ferry.
Momma, Daddy and Uncle-the boys run when feeding unless really hungry and Momma is "coming around" she lets me pet her but I can't let her in with my cats (tried introducing through door).
Suggestions? I hate to say this but other colonies available? I know that's a hard one but I'd be able to provide a bag of food every 2 weeks.
People take the animals in and then let them go in my neighborhood. I found homes for 6 other cats in addition to the kittens. I try my best.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Linda L
