Frequently Asked Questions
/Why isn't there a central phone number I can call?
People for Animals of Saskatchewan is a volunteer-based non-profit organization. We have no paid staff, so we are unable to have someone available to take calls. Please email us at pfasask@gmail.com and a volunteer will answer your inquiry as soon as possible.
The Regina Humane Society has paid staff on call 24-hours a day, seven days a week to handle emergencies such as animal cruelty or abuse. Please call Animal Protection at (306) 777-7700 in such cases.
What is the adoption process?
Take a look at our Cat-A-Logue and if you are interested in adopting, contact us at pfasask@gmail.com with the name of the cat or kitten you wish to adopt, or a description of the kind of pet you are looking for (disposition, colouring, etc.)
Complete the Adoption Application with one of our Adoption Screeners, either by phone (contact us at pfasask@gmail.com to make arrangements) or online. If approved, you may visit the cat or kitten in the foster home or adoption centre to see if he or she is a good fit for you. If you decide to adopt, complete the Adoption Contract, pay the adoption fee, and participate in follow-up process.
Note: Kittens must be sterilized at six months of age as a condition of kitten adoption.
I found a stray cat. Where can I drop him/her off?
PFA does not operate a shelter facility. We place rescued cats into volunteer foster homes or at satellite adoption centres at PetSmart and Petcetera. Our ability to take in cats depends upon the availability of foster care providers or space in adoption centres.
We have a long wait list for foster care and can't always take on new rescues, especially on short notice. Please contact us at pfasask@gmail.com with information on the stray cat you have found and we will try to help.
I adopted my cat from PFA but I can't keep her. What should I do?
Please email us at pfasask@gmail.com and we will help you find a new home for your cat, as per the Adoption Contract that you signed when you adopted her from PFA.
Please do not give your cat to someone else without contacting us first, as we must screen and approve any potential adopters of PFA cats. We also need the contact information for the new adoptive home so we may follow up to ensure the cat is doing well.
Can I surrender my cat to PFA if I didn't adopt him from you?
PFA has a policy against re-homing animals. We deal solely with Regina's stray animal population: sterilizing, finding homes for those that are tame, and neutering/spaying and releasing the feral cats. We want to reduce the overpopulation of unwanted, homeless animals, and thus we must concentrate on those currently living on the street.
