Second Chance Sheltering Network Inc.

About

We are a no-kill, all volunteer foster based organization who specializes in stray, orphaned, abandoned and abused cats. All of our rescues are spay/neutered, given all required shots, dewormed, checked for feline leukemia/FIV, and placed in foster homes until they can be showcased at a local adoption center. All adoption interested applicants are diligently screened for suitability as an adoptive parent. If approved, adopters are given ongoing support for the transitional period of adjustment in the new home. Our goal is to promote aggressive low-cost spay and neuter programs in order to reduce the number of unwanted animals and therefore stopping the killing of excess pets. Our focus on "street rescue" of abandoned animals has led to close affiliations with other organizations in our area with respect to setting up maintained and supervised feral cat colonies. All feral cats are spay/neutered, vaccinated and released back into the community from which they come.

Adoption process

Our Adoption Process: Step 1: Identify the name and description of the rescue cat or kitten you are interested in adopting. Step 2: Call our adoption hotline at (716) 652-6051 to determine if you and our rescue cat are a good fit based on the known history of the cat and put in an application. Step 3: Once verbal approval is provided to you, a volunteer will be reaching out directly to schedule a mutually agreeable time to meet at the adoption site to perform the adoption. At the time of the adoption: We ask an adoption donation of $125 which may be paid by cash or check made out to Second Chance Sheltering Network. No credit or debit cards are accepted. To confirm your identity, we require you to present a valid driver's license or government photo ID at the time of the adoption. There will be some paperwork to complete, so please be prepared to read and sign our adoption rules and disclosures. At the time of adoption please bring a plastic cat carrier to transport your new family member home. We do not allow our rescue cats to be transported in cardboard carriers. Rest assured that all Second Chance adoptable rescues are: Tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV; Spay/Neutered; Micro-Chipped; Vaccinated; Dewormed; Flea Control Applied and all come with a courtesy wellness visit certificate as well as one month of pet insurance! Step 4: We love sharing success stories with our community and request that all of our rescues be photographed with their new forever parents. Step 5: Once you have taken your new family member home you will receive a communication from one of our volunteers to check in on how things are going. Additionally, home visits may take place to ensure everyone is settling in.
