NOTE!
Currently Saving with Soul Pet Rescue is unable to take in any privately owned cats or kittens. We have been overwhelmed with requests and are way above our capacity. Please contact your local shelter for help with found or unwanted cats.
We are so sorry we can’t help at this time!

The plight of homeless cats in Florida is grim, very grim. The shelters are flooded with unwanted cats and kittens and in most, the euthanasia rate for cats is more than 90%. NINETY PERCENT. This is heartbreaking for any rescue who works with cats which may explain why cat-specific rescues are hard to find.
Saving with Soul has a cat-focused group, and we are doing our best to save as many as we can. Yes, it’s overwhelming but we try to stay calm and do what we can.
In the past, we have had to say “I’m so sorry, but no, we can’t help,” when asked by private citizens to take in cats and kittens due to the number of requests we get daily. Saving with Soul Pet Rescue is primarily a foster-based rescue, which means we put most of our animals in private homes, not a general facility. As with most rescues, our foster homes stay full and the minute a space opens up, we have ten animals waiting to get in.
PLEASE NOTE, Saving with Soul requires payment of a tax-deductible surrender fee in order to consider taking in a cat from a private citizen. This is the only way we can afford to do so. Thank you for your understanding.
NOTE: We do not take in stray animals who have not gone through the legal stray hold period. Unfortunately, the stray cat population is enormous. There are legal requirements specific to your county regarding rehoming stray animals and we are not in position to comply with them. If you are willing to go through the legal process for holding a stray cat, we may be able to help you afterwards. If you apply to rehome your animal with Saving with Soul, you will be required to sign a document stating that you have the legal right to do so.
Saving with Soul Pet Rescue saves more than 1500 animals per year. If you are able to help us in that mission, donations can be made here: www.savewithsoul.com/donate. We are also accepting applications for volunteers and foster families.
