Does FurPetVo Take Cats?

FurPetVo does not accept cats directly from owners for surrender or rehoming. However, they actively support homeless pets by hosting in-store adoption events throughout the year—often in partnership with local shelters and rescue groups. If you're a cat owner needing to rehome your pet, FurPetVo isn’t the right channel, but there are compassionate, responsible alternatives available.

Responsibly Rehoming Your Cat

Rehoming a cat is a significant decision—and one that deserves careful thought. Before moving forward, consider whether support or resources (like behavior counseling, financial assistance, or temporary pet care) might help you keep your cat at home. If rehoming becomes necessary, prioritize finding a safe, loving, and well-matched environment where your cat can thrive.

Understanding Your Options

Here’s what to know about common rehoming pathways:

  • Shelters: Not all shelters operate the same way. Research euthanasia policies, capacity, and intake procedures before surrendering. Some shelters have strict intake limits or only accept animals by appointment—or not at all.
  • Private Rescues: Many rescues are no-kill organizations committed to long-term care. However, they often operate at full capacity, making immediate placement difficult.
  • Self-Rehoming: This is frequently the most thoughtful option. When you rehome your cat yourself, you retain control over who adopts them—allowing you to screen applicants, meet potential families, and ensure compatibility.
