Intake and Rescue

*************************************************************************************************

Updated:  October 28th, 2024

Our Fosters are completely full at this time!  We are only able to accept new animals if you are able to foster for them through Last Litter Program, or for Adoption Return of animals previously adopted from us.  

 Please scroll to the bottom of this page for a list of other rescue resources.     

*************************************************************************************************  

If you must return a cat adopted from Kneading Kitty's Rescue, please click the button below and fill out our Adoption Return form.  We will always accept a cat adopted from us, but do need time to make arrangements with fosters before we can receive the cat from you.  We respond to inquiries as quickly as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours.  

With our last litter program, we help individuals when their cat is unexpectedly pregnant or recently delivered a litter of unplanned kittens.  You will act as a one-time foster, keeping the mother cat and her kittens in your home until the kittens are ready to be away from her (typically until 8-9 weeks old). We will then take mother and kittens into the vet to get them spayed/neutered, vaccinated and chipped.  We will return the mother to you, and take the kittens into the rescue to put up for adoption.  You will no longer have to worry about your cat having kittens, or finding homes for them.  We will do this at our expense and at no cost to you, donations are appreciated but not required.  Our goal is to help end the cycle of unwanted kittens one cat at a time. 

If you need this service, please click the button below and fill our our Last Litter Program request form.  You must agree to all of the conditions to qualify for this program.  

If you need assistance rehoming a cat that you or a family member own, please click the button below and fill out our Rehome Request form.

We will reply to let you know if we are able to assist, or refer you to other resources as appropriate (see list below). We respond to inquiries as quickly as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours.
