If you’re looking for your new best friend, we’re here to help. St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines has over 100 cats and kittens at any given time looking for forever homes. Most of our cats are housed in loving foster homes and each cat is cared for on an individual basis. Some of our cats are housed in our off-site Pet Store Adoption Centers and can be visited at any time.
Our expert Adoption Counselors are ready to help you find your perfect fit. Since our cats are worked with one-on-one, we are able to use the Meet-Your-Match system to assess each cat in our care and work with you pair up possible options. Every cat is fully vetted and all vet records are fully disclosed upon adoption.
