New Cat Intake

Kitten Krazy is a locally-run, private, nonprofit organization. We take in cats and kittens at our discretion as time, space, and finances allow. Please read the information below if you are interested in surrendering a cat to our shelter.

​

Important intake information:

• If you have an unwanted cat, please contact us at 330-591-4408.
   

• On average, we are asked to take in 50+ cats per week in the winter, and this number can rise to 200+ per week in the summer. With this in mind, please note that our responses may be delayed and/or that you may not receive a direct response from us if our team determines that we cannot take your case.
   

• Due to high demand, we are typically not able to take in a cat on the day the intake request is made. When a cat is accepted to the center, they will usually be put on a waiting list until room is available.
   

• All calls are logged and these records are kept for weekly review, so if your cat isn't accepted right away, you may still become a candidate at some point in the future.

Intake FAQ:

​

• Is there an age limit for the cats you take in?

• We do not have age restrictions, but we do ask that you coordinate with us if you are planning to separate a kitten from its mother.
   

• Do you take in stray and feral cats?

• We consider and assess stray and feral cats in the same manner as domesticated cats.
   

• Do you take in sick cats?

• We will consider taking sick cats under additional guidelines.
   

• Do you take mothers and their litters?

• We evaluate mothers and litters (feral, stray, or domestic) in the same manner as any other cat.
   

• Do I need to provide anything when I surrender a cat?

• We ask that anyone who admits a cat to our shelter donate $ to help cover the costs. If you have any food, treats, toys, beds, etc. that belonged to the cat, you can bring those, too.
