OWNER SURRENDER & STRAY INTAKE REQUEST

Ellie's Legacy is a foster-based rescue that occasionally is able to accept owner surrenders & strays. Availability of this service depends on having an appropriate foster home for the cat. 

*If you have found a very young litter of kittens, please reach out to us right away! Email karen1@ellieslegacy.org or chelsie@ellieslegacy.org*

STEPS & REQUIREMENTS:

 

The 1st step is to submit a surrender request form. We will then add you to our waitlist (if applicable at the time) for 30 days. After you submit the surrender request, please email clear pictures of your cat to karen@ellieslegacy.org 

We will reach out via email if/when we can assist you. If it has been longer than 30 days; please submit a new request. We strongly encourage you to contact your local Humane Society & other rescue organizations to see if they can assist you as well!

If cat is accepted into rescue, we ask the following from owner surrender:

  • The cat must be altered & UTD on vaccines (if age appropriate). If the cat is not, we ask for a $100 donation to cover those expenses. A $20 donation applies if the cat is altered & UTD. There is no fee if cat is a found stray. 
  • Vet records are required (if applicable) and can be submitted to annette@ellieslegacy.org
  • Owner must transport cat to foster home. Most foster homes are in the Alexandria & surrounding areas.
  • Please provide an article of clothing/item with owners scent, as this will help transition the cat.
