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 that the store is open. We try to make sure the location of the store cats is in their profile.
Not sure which cat is right for you? Our Adoption Counselors are here to help you find your perfect match! Every cat is spayed or neutered and receives age‑appropriate veterinary care before adoption. All medical records are provided at the time of adoption.
