Lost & Found

FOUND PETS

St. Sophia’s is a limited intake shelter, meaning we do not have a stray holding license, nor do we have the capacity to house and care for stray and lost cats.

If you have found a STRAY cat (adult)

Please visit our Stray/Feral Resources page to find an organization that can assist you.

If you have found KITTENS

Please check out our Finder-to-Foster program — St. Sophia’s MAY be able to help!

LOST PETS
