St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines is a non-profit, licensed, volunteer-run cat shelter based in Wheaton, IL. Established in late 2010, St. Sophia’s strives to be the best in temporary care for cats in transition. What does this mean? It means that the cats in our care aren’t intended to stay in our care. Our hope is a forever home for every adoptable cat — no more homeless cats! The cats we care for at St. Sophia’s come from many different places. The majority of the cats we help are those that are helpless, who have not experienced love or a home, stray, abused, and neglected cats. Primarily we work with high-volume/high-kill animal controls to save cats from needless euthanasia. St. Sophia's has grown exponentially in the short time since establishment. Our first year saw 110 adoptions, working with 1 store and 5 foster homes. 11 years later, we have 48 licensed foster homes, 10 pet store partners with on-site kennels (in which we rotate our available adult cats), over 300 volunteers, and an average of 200 cats in our care at any given time. We are now completing around 1,400 adoptions a year!
