Contact Us

*Our foster homes are full. If you are seeking a foster home for a stray animal, we are unfortunately unable to assist at this time.*

Please read the following before contacting us. Thank you! City Kitties is a volunteer-only group based out of a small number of foster homes. Due to limited space and funds, we cannot help every animal in need. We encourage the general public to take responsibility for stray cats and kittens whenever possible.

* If you found a stray cat/kitten and are looking for a foster home or other assistance, please read our Stray Cat Adoption Pack before emailing us. This guide answers many common questions about veterinary care, low-cost spay/neuter resources, humane trapping, adoption procedures, and more.

* If you want to re-home your own cat, please read our Guide to Responsible Re-Homing. City Kitties does not accept owner surrenders.

* If you are contacting us about a large number of stray/feral cats, please read our Stray Cat Adoption Pack before contacting us. We also recommend that you peruse Alley Cat Allies, an excellent online resource on humane TNRM (trap, neuter, release, manage) practices. We are not physically able to assist every person who contacts us about stray/feral colonies, so we encourage you to learn more about what you can do!

* If you have found an animal in need of emergency veterinary care (such as hit-by-car or other injury/illness), do NOT contact City Kitties. Take the animal to the nearest emergency veterinary clinic or contact ACCT (animal control) by calling 267-385-3800 or 911 to report an animal in distress. Please be advised that if you call ACCT for an injured animal, the animal will probably be euthanized. If in doubt, take the animal to a veterinarian (see vet resources here).

* If you believe an animal is being neglected or abused, report it to the PSPCA on their toll-free hotline, 1-866-601-SPCA, or by emailing cruelty@pspca.org.

* If you have questions about another topic, contact City Kitties using the form below. We will do our best to get back to you within a few days. We appreciate your patience!
