Q: I'm interested in adopting a couple barn cats. Do you have any available?

A. We usually suggest that all adopted cats are kept inside but occasionally may have a cat that we agree would be better off being indoor/outdoor. Our website shows all of the cats currently available for adoption here: https://humanesocietysoco.org/adopt/cats/ If we do not currently have any cats available to adopt for barn placement, we highly suggest contacting Forgotten Felines of Sonoma County, https://www.forgottenfelines.com/ (707) 576-7999

Q: My dog/cat got loose last night and I was wondering if you have him/her, if not, whom should I call?

A: I’m sorry your pet went missing, we know how stressful that can be. You can find helpful resources on the Lost/Found page of our website: https://humanesocietysoco.org/lost-or-found-a-pet/ Depending on where your dog was lost, you can also report it to Sonoma County Animal Services (SCAS). They take lost animal reports from anywhere in their jurisdiction (Santa Rosa City/unincorporated Sonoma County). Good luck finding your pet!
