Surrender to Original Shelter

If you are surrendering an animal that was originally adopted by an Illinois-based Shelter or Rescue, you must surrender the animal back to the original shelter per Illinois State regulations. If this case applies to you, please stop filling out this form and contact the shelter which originally adopted your pet.

Response Times

As we are an all-volunteer organization, we may not have the volunteer staff capability to be able to respond to every surrender request as sometimes we have a high volume of surrender requests. If you do not receive a response within 7 days, feel free to pester us at catsfff.org/support to ask for an update.

I understand that depending on volume of surrender requests, I may not get a response

Please note that approval is required from a FFF representative to waive the owner surrender fee. You are still the legal and responsible owner for this animal until both the surrender fee is paid and this contract is submitted/returned to FFF. Alternatively, we have an option for you to do a quick and Facebook fundraiser. Learn more at catsfff.org/fundraiser . If you adopted from FFF and are returning the cat to FFF, your cat must be current/up to date on Rabies and Distemper to qualify for the $0 surrender fee. Evidence of current vaccinations must be presented to FFF.

Please write the name of the rescue representative who authorized waiving the surrender fee.

Please fill in this question only if the owner surrender fee has been agreed to be waived by an authorized rescue representative.

Surrender to our store locations. Please indicate the store location closest to you.

If your cat is spayed or neutered, virus tested for FIV and FeLV, up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations, and has no significant health issues, you may surrender your cat to one of our store locations. Normally we are able to accommodate a surrender at our store locations within a few days. Evidence is required to be presented that your cat is up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations and has had a recent vet exam declaring no significant health issues. Please note that we will attempt to accommodate your closest store request although it depends on how many cats are at each store and where space is available, you may be referred to a different store for surrender. If your cat is not up to date on any of the above items, you can bring the cat to our vet after paying the surrender fee, have the missing services performed, and then bring it to a store location for surrender.

I understand I will be electronically invoiced the agreed surrender fee and the invoice payment is due immediately.

As part of the surrender process, the surrender fee must be paid upon confirmation from our intake coordinator that we are able to take the cat or cats into our rescue. If you are planning to keep the pet during the re-homing process in your own home, then we will collect the surrender fee and if we are unable to re-home the pet within 90 days, we will return the surrender fee. If you re-home the pet on your own during this 90-day period, the surrender fee is non-refundable as we have already put forth effort to post and advertise the pet for re-homing. If your surrender fee is $0, please check Yes that you understand. Please note a $0 surrender fee is only allowed if approved by a board member of FFF or if you are returning a cat you adopted from FFF. Otherwise, you will be invoiced for the surrender fee.

I will take 5 minutes to Create an FFF Facebook Fundraisers, instructions are at catsfff.org/fundraiser

I will take 5 to 10 minutes of my time to create a Facebook fundraiser. With one or two heartfelt sentences and a good photo, my fundraiser for FFF can be up and running in no time on Facebook. Please target $200 or higher as your fundraising amount. If your fundraiser exceeds the surrender fee, we will refund the surrender fee (please contact us for the refund). Typically the care for surrender cats and strays exceed the cost of our adoption fee so our fundraising is critical in order for us to continue to have the finances we need to care for our rescue cats. We have an instructional video and link to get you started at catsfff.org/fundraising. Thank you so much for your understanding!

Yes - I will spend 5 to 10 minutes of my time and create a Facebook fundraiserYes - I will do the fundraiser and donate my surrender fee to the rescueNo - I am not willing to do a fundraiser for FFF

Returning a cat to FFF which was originally adopted from FFF. Please indicate the closest store location.

We accept returns of FFF cats that we originally adopted at our store locations, normally within a few days. Please select the store location you would like to return to. In order to return to our store location, your cat must be up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations and have no significant health issues. Evidence of up to date vaccinations is required to process the return. Please note that we adopted the cat to you fully vaccinated and up to date so we do expect the cat to be returned in the same condition, up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. We will attempt to accommodate your closest store request although it depends on how many cats are at each store and where space is available, you may be referred to a different store for surrender.

If you adopted this cat from FFF (Forever Fortunate Felines), Please select a response below.

Please allow up to 30 days notice for a return to allow the rescue to find a foster home for your cat. Once you submit your surrender form, you can view your place in line at catsfff.org/catsinmotion .

I understand I must provide 30 days notice to the rescue when surrendering my cat back to the rescue

Are you willing to foster this cat or cats?

Our average time in foster care is 60 days until adoption to a great home! If you are willing to foster these cats while we publish them, vet them, and make them ready for adoption, we can typically expedite your surrender request. Please note the surrender fee (or fundraiser) still applies as the cost to vet a cat for adoption costs more than our adoption fees.

Yes I can Foster - Fast Track my surrender requestNo I cannot Foster and I will wait for a foster home or store location
