OUR SURRENDER WAITLIST FORM IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED.

Due to an influx of surrender waitlist forms, we need to temporarily close our waitlist. We are working as quickly as we can to catch up on already submitted forms and will reopen the waitlist as soon as possible. If you are in need of a place to surrender a cat, please reach out to Missoula Animal Services at (406) 541-7387 or the Humane Society of Western Montana at (406) 549-3934. Please reach out with any questions to manager@animeals.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

​AniMeals prioritizes intakes based on the most at-risk within Missoula County. We make every intake decision based upon our capacity for care, taking into consideration the immediate needs of our current shelter residents. Our maximum shelter capacity is 50 cats and we can currently take up to 35 cats in foster homes. We take in felines as strays, veterinary surrenders, from overcrowded Missoula County shelters, the sick or injured, very young and very old, and cats other shelters cannot rehabilitate. We do take owner surrenders, but they are a lower priority.

​

If you are submitting a surrender form for a cat who is pregnant, or a cat with kittens or just kittens: SPACE IS LIMITED!! If we cannot accommodate the request for help, we will direct those individuals to other shelters and resources. 

​

We rely on a external veterinary clinic for all of our spays, neuters, and every other veterinary service, which contributes to the timely manner we can plan and coordinate intakes.

​

If this is an owner surrender request, AniMeals offers a pet food bank for dogs and cats and a medical fund to increase retention in the home. We can offer these resources until space opens up at the shelter.

​

**If this cat was adopted from another shelter please get in touch with that shelter before submitting a surrender form with us**

​

PLEASE BE PATIENT AS WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SPACE. WE WILL CONTACT YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN.

Multiple cats? They must be entered individually unless instructed by AniMeals to put them on one request.​​
