Before submitting an application, please visit our website and read the FAQ section.
 

Photos & Phone Calls

Due to limited resources, we are unable to provide additional photos or schedule phone calls before receiving a completed application.
Once your application is submitted and pre-approved, we will:

• Provide more photos (if available)

• Set up a conversation with an SOS Team member to discuss the best kitty match

• Connect you with the foster family for questions and a video visit
   

Meet & Greets

SOS Cat Rescue is a foster-based organization, not a brick-and-mortar shelter.
For the safety of our fosters and cats, in-person Meet & Greets are only arranged after:

• Receiving a completed application

• Issuing a pre-approval

Out-of-state? We’ll gladly arrange a video Meet & Greet instead.

 

Application Requirements

Please submit your application HERE. 
 

To avoid delays:

• Answer all questions completely. “N/A” answers will prevent submission.

• Include a co-adopter. You may not list yourself as your own co-adopter.

• Attach veterinary records for your current pets showing:

  • Proof of spay/neuter

  • Current core vaccines

  • Rabies vaccination

  • Microchip documentation (if available)

We do not place kittens in homes with intact (unspayed/unneutered) pets unless your vet provides a medical exemption.

 

After You Apply

• You’ll receive a confirmation email with a link for your references to complete.
  Check your SPAM/Junk folders if you don’t see it.

• Please follow up with your references to ensure they respond quickly.

• Completed applications can take 3–4 business days to process.
   

Still Have Questions?

That’s okay! During your call with our team, we’ll go over potential matches and answer your questions. We recommend writing your questions down in advance so we can address them during your conversation.

 

Interested in Multiple Kittens?

No problem! Once pre-approved, you’ll chat with our Executive Director, who will help guide you to the best match (or matches!) based on your home, lifestyle, and preferences.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We’re working hard to find forever homes for our meowjical rescues and appreciate your cooperation in following this process.
