Shelters & Resources by County
Please note: we do NOT endorse any shelter/rescue over another. These groups can be contacted regarding placement of cats or kittens. (Many shelters and rescue groups do not normally accept feral, non-friendly felines for placement. However, some rescues may have individual fosters who may be willing to work with these non-socialized cats or kittens. (Call for information.) Each group has different policies, which you can find on their websites.
