Surrendering your Cat
Surrendering a pet is a very difficult decision. Please explore all options when considering surrender. Many undesirable behaviors can be corrected through training. Visit our Pet Solutions & Resources page for links to helpful information. There are some organizations that can help with the cost of owning a pet such as pet food pantries and low-cost clinics. Please also be sure to check with family members and friends to see if they are able to give your pet a nice loving home.
If you have considered all options and would like to inquire about surrendering your cat to Heartland, please answer the questions below, copy & paste and email back to heartlandanimals@yahoo.com with all the required information. Please provide us with the information we need so we can spend our time helping to find a home for the

If you adopted from Heartland Animal Shelter:
* As stated in your adoption contract, Heartland must be given the first right of refusal and you must be given prior authorization by Shelter Management in order to surrender your pet back to the shelter.
When submitting your inquiry, please include in the subject line: Adopted from Heartland.
Please also note, that your pet should be current on all vaccinations as part of your adoption agreement.
If you did not adopt from Heartland Animal Shelter:
*Please note that Heartland has limited capacity and can not guarantee we can accept your pet(s) due to this limitation. If your pet is not already spayed or neutered or needs vaccinations, please do so.

*In the mean time, please continue to contact other no-kill shelters. Due to the high level of inquires, you will be contacted if we are able to make arrangements to accept your pet at our shelter.
