Frequently Asked Questions

Are you taking cats?
If you would like to surrender a cat or kittens, we ask that you foster the animal in your home until it is adopted. Please call and make an appointment with the animal care coordinator 294-6505 extension 23. We rarely accept a cat or kitten that will be housed at SICSA due to limited space and cat overpopulation. We have about 200 cats in our adoption program on a daily basis.

Do you offer low cost vet services?
We do not provide veterinary services to the community. We do provide low cost sterilization for low-middle income families.

Do you offer de-clawing?
No, we do not offer de-clawing.

Do you take pit bulls?
In accordance with Ohio law, we are not permitted to accept pit bulls or pit bull mixes into our adoption program. There are Pit Bull Rescue Groups in the Midwest, please check petfinder.com for a complete list.

Can you take a stray dog?
Laws have changed since we first opened in 1974. We are no longer legally allowed to accept stray animals, however we do get stray and homeless animals from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter (and other animal shelters) after their holding period has ended.
