Need Help Finding Placement or Rehoming Your Cat(s)?

After you submit your surrender request, our intake and adoptions team will review your application and follow-up accordingly via email.

If your request passes review, you will be asked to schedule a virtual meeting to discuss your request and cats in great detail.

After the call, you will receive a final decision via email. Approved requests require a scheduled surrender appointment. Surrender appointments take place in-person in McDonough, Georgia.

Note: New surrender requests are reviewed every Sunday.

Furballs Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating without government, county, or major institutional funding. We rely on the generosity of our community to provide veterinary care, food, supplies, and safe placement for the cats we help.

We kindly ask for a generous, tax-deductible donation with each surrender request to help offset the costs associated with the cat's care. On average, our typical per cat expense ranges from $160-175 to get cats ready for adoption before sick or extensive treatment if required.

While donations are not a guarantee of acceptance, every contribution helps us stretch our limited resources and continue helping cats in need.

Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us give cats a chance at a better future. 💜

All pet owners surrendering must have the following upon acceptance:

• Medical records
• Valid driver's license or State ID

The legal owner must complete the surrender application. 

If the owner has passed away or is terminally ill, please note this in your submission and we will request documentation to verify before proceeding.

Yes. We require that any adopted cat be returned to us if circumstances change and you can no longer provide care.

There is no surrender fee required for previous Furballs cats.

We recommend reaching out to other local rescues and shelters, as availability may be open and another group may be able to assist.
