Intake & Support Services
Our goal is to provide help for caregivers facing hardships and to keep families together, even in tough times. By providing as many resources and services as possible, we can work toward reducing the barriers to keeping cats and people together. At this stage we are collecting detailed data about reasons for cat relinquishment, so that we can build a library of resources to help keep cats and families together.
Support may include, but is not limited to:
Behavior support/training
Cat food and/or supplies
Lower-cost spay/neuter resources
Lower-cost veterinary care resources
Pet-friendly housing resources
Referral to self-rehoming options
Temporary boarding
Intake Process:
(Note: Please adjust your settings to accept emails from doobert.com and felinerescue.org. Check your Spam/Junk Mail folder if you haven’t heard from us within 1 week.)
1. Plan ahead. It usually takes approximately 2 weeks, after inquiry or application, to get a cat into a shelter or rescue. Please contact multiple organizations to maximize the Intake opportunities in your area. At the same time, post your cat for adoption on self-rehoming sites so that your cat can get adopted in the interim.
2. Be sure that you have a picture of each cat for whom you are requesting intake on the device you are using to complete the Intake Triage form. Submit one Intake form including all cats in need. Applications are accepted online only.
3. A Feline Support Services staff member will email you to discuss alternatives to relinquishment.
4. Feline Rescue will offer an intake appointment only to those cats for whom we have the capacity to care (space, veterinary staffing, etc.) after medical records have been received and our questions have been answered.
NOTE: We do not accept walk-in surrenders of cats nor do we have on-call staff for emergency requests. Please contact your local animal control (SPAC for St. Paul, MACC for Minneapolis) for urgent metro area intake or take an injured cat to your local veterinarian. All animal controls network with local rescues: we transfer cats from SPAC & MACC regularly.
