We are a foster-based rescue which means the number of animals we can take in each year is dependent on the space available in foster homes, the number of animals who can be housed communally, and how quickly our animals are adopted.

If the animal you have found is not friendly enough to be handled by strangers, or you are dealing with a colony of community or feral cats, consider TNR as an option for managing the cat overpopulation problem in your area.

If you are located within the city limits of the following areas, please contact your local municipal animal shelter FIRST for any animals who are friendly enough to be handled by strangers. These organizations are either no-kill (meaning they have a live release rate over 90%) or we have worked closely with them and know that they are a safe place for stray and abandoned pets. For feral or very fearful cats or dogs, please continue on to the form below.

*We have a strong relationship with the shelter managers at Bayou Animal Services and Webster Animal Control. They do everything humanly possible to save the lives of every animal that comes through their doors, and consistently maintain well over a 90% live release rate. We support them fully and believe that if you are within their jurisdiction, the stray or abandoned animal you have found will be in excellent hands there.

**Harris County has been working with Best Friends Animal Society for the last two years to become no-kill and so far have maintained a live release rate between 98 and 99% so we feel confident the animal you've found will be safe there.

Starlight Outreach and Rescue is committed to keeping as many pets out of shelters as possible. To do this, we help provide veterinary care for citizens who would otherwise have to surrender their pets due to costs associated with spay/neuter, illnesses, or injuries.

NOTE: this form is NOT for stray/found animals you have had in your possession for less than one week. Please go to "Animal(s) Needing Assistance"

For feral cats or cat colonies, please see Managing a Cat Colony for help spaying/neutering community cats.

The following information is required so we can register a microchip to your pet and get it to your vet to implant. If you do not have a vet, we will arrange for one of our vets to implant your pet's microchip.
