Relinquishment Resources
Before surrendering a cat, please consider looking through the Humane Society of the United States' Article 'Need to find your pet a new home?' for alternatives to relinquishing a cat to a shelter.
Surrendering a pet to a shelter should be a last resort.
​
We understand sometimes unavoidable things happen and that keeping your cat(s) is not in the best interest of you or the cat(s). If you are wanting to surrender a cat to RMFR please fill out our relinquishment application on our 'Relinquish a Cat to RMFR' tab.
