Surrendering Your Cat to Caring Hearts Cat Rescue and Sanctuary
Caring Hearts Cat Rescue and Sanctuary firmly believes that your relationship with your pet should be a lifelong commitment. However, we do understand that sometimes circumstances arise that make this difficult.
Surrendering your cat to a rescue or shelter should be your last resort for re-homing your animal.
Before contacting a rescue to inquire about surrendering your cat, please consider all your other alternatives. Sometimes friends or family members can step in to help. Social media offers options for finding a safe and caring new home for your cat. Sometimes the problem you are experiencing can be addressed in ways you hadn’t considered.

If you feel you are unable to overcome the problems you are experiencing with your cat, and have no other alternative but to surrender your pet, please contact the Thunder Bay and District Humane Society. They MAY be able to help.
At this time, Caring Hearts can only take back former Caring Hearts cats that were adopted from us. We are unable to take any other surrenders at this time.
If you have a Caring Hearts cat (adopted from us) and would like to apply to surrender your cat(s), please email us at caringheartscatrescue@gmail.com
