Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

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. Melissa

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 215-939-4080

I have a stray cat, that keeps getting into fights outside my house. He needs a good home. He is so lovable. I wish I could bring him in, but I have many cats already and they don't get along with him.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.
