St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines strives to be the best in temporary care for cats in transition; providing humane care and working to provide permanent homes for cats and kittens. St. Sophia’s is not a boarding facility and is not licensed to board animals, nor do we have a stray holding license to take in strays directly from the streets.
St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines is a limited in-take rescue and, while there are many deserving cats that need help, St. Sophia’s can only take on those for which it has the capacity and resources to care for.
IF YOU NEED TO RETURN A CAT ADOPTED FROM ST. SOPHIA’S
We’re sorry things are not working out with your adopted cat. St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines accepts returns of cats that were originally adopted out through our shelter at any time, for any reason.
If you find yourself in a position needing to return your adopted pet, please complete the following form.
https://form.jotform.com/infostsff/return-request
PLEASE NOTE:
- Medical records MUST be provided prior to your return appointment if you have taken your cat to the vet since adoption.
- If you do not have these records readily available, please have your vet email records to medical.stsff@gmail.com or fax to 847-739-7189.
- We do not accept invoices (documents showing what you paid for and how much) – we need the full patient records that show:
- What services were performed
- When services were performed
- Results of any diagnostics
- Veterinary notes
- Once your Return Request has been submitted, you will receive a reply from our Intake/Admissions team with information about scheduling a return appointment.
IF YOU NEED TO SURRENDER A NON-STSFF CAT
At this time, we are unable to take in owner surrenders and instead focus our rescue efforts on cats that are in high-volume/high-kill shelters and animal controls that are at risk of euthanasia.
We recommend that owners use as many resources as possible to either keep their cat or re-home the cat themselves before resorting to surrendering their cat to us. We highly recommend taking owner surrenders to DuPage Animal Services; they are open-admission and no-kill.
