We adopted our cat from here a couple months ago and the process was so smooth. I volunteer in animal rescue and I know how stretched thin they can be, so I extra appreciated how quick and open communication was! We love our girl, Taco (formerly Woodle).

We adopted 3 of our 4 cats from St. Sophia’s and had a wonderful experience each time. They have been very friendly and helpful. I would recommend anyone looking to adopt to go to St. Sophia’s. You can tell that they really love these kitties and put so much work into caring for them.

Adoption was easy. Our 4 cats are the absolute best cats in the world, and while some of them had medical issues, we wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world! They are our loving companions and add so much joy and good energy to our home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
