Intake Process

Kindred Souls Foundation works to find stray and owner relinquished animals new forever homes. Stray animals should always be scanned for a microchip prior to contacting a rescue group for help. Any veterinarian will scan an animal for free and contact the appropriate agency if a chip is found.

Since we are not a shelter facility, we cannot take emergency cases (i.e., animals who are in need of immediate medical attention OR animals in need of immediate shelter). We do not provide financial assistance.

If you need help with feral cats, please contact Feral Cat Trapping & Assistance at (206) 427-6454 or the Feral Cat Project at (425) 673-CATS.

Stray Cats and Dogs: Our foster homes are currently full. If you are contacting us regarding a stray animal, we are only able to assist you if you can foster the animal until he/she is placed in his/her forever home.

Owner Relinquished Cats and Dogs: If you are an owner wanting to relinquish your animal companion, we are only able to help you if you continue to care for him/her until he/she is placed in a forever home. We require owner relinquished animals to have had a Well Pet Exam within the last six months (animals over the age of 8 yrs must have a Senior Blood Panel), be spayed/neutered, and be current on vaccines (cats- FVRCP and Rabies; dogs- DHPP and Rabies).

Please do not submit an Intake Packet if you do not have someone identified to care for the animal while we look for a permanent home. Again, we are not a shelter facility and our current foster homes are full.

Complete an Intake Form

Download and complete the appropriate intake form. If you have found a stray, we still need you to complete the form to the best of your ability. The more information we have, the better able we are to determine if we have an appropriate foster home available.

Follow up to mailing in the packet by emailing or calling us to let us know you have sent it in. Our mail is not retrieved on a daily basis, so if we do not know that the packet is coming it may take longer for it to reach the appropriate person. If we know that it is coming, we will ensure the Intake Team receives it in a timely manner.

Photos

When you email to let us know that the packet is coming, attach digital photos (minimum 300dpi at a 4x3 size). You may also mail us a CD of photos, but do not mail us standard paper photos as they do not scan well enough to use. Include at least one picture of the animal's face and one of the full body. The photos will be used to send in an email alert to all of our members to help generate immediate feedback on possible leads for placement. Adoptive homes are profiled to accept animals of specific requirements (i.e., size, weight, and hair/fur type), so we need to assess this early on.

Intake Review

Once we have reviewed your complete Intake Packet (intake form, medical records, digital pictures) we will contact you to let you know how we are able to assist.
