SoBe Cats is a 100% volunteer-run 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our mission is to assist the City of Miami Beach in controlling the homeless community cat population through a three-pronged approach: Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return (TNVR), Adoption, and our Registered Feeder Program.
We are not a government agency or a traditional shelter. We are a nonprofit organization that works in conjunction with Miami-Dade Animal Services. We do not have a physical facility for dropping off cats; instead, we operate through volunteer foster networks and our Kitty Campus location for adoptions.
TNVR stands for Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return. We help facilitate this for community cats living outdoors. We connect the public's need for TNVR with our volunteer Trappers and hold periodic events at The Kitty Campus in conjunction with Miami Dade Animal Service’s Mobile Animal Clinic.
Yes! If you are feeding a community cat or have noticed one in your area, please contact us. We can connect you with our volunteer trappers and guide you on TNVR options to ensure the cat is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and returned to its outdoor home.
Absolutely! We spay/neuter and place friendly, adoptable community cats and kittens into our Adoption Program at The Kitty Campus. Our goal is to find them safe and loving homes and get them off the streets.
Before going up for adoption, all kitties go through a brief quarantine process. During this time, they are dewormed, vaccinated, and given flea medication to ensure they are healthy and ready for their new home.
Our Registered Feeder Program helps community cats live outside with love. We rely on our Registered Feeders to provide food and fresh water to the cats, and to alert us about any cats that have not been spayed/neutered.
You can tell if a community cat has already been spayed or neutered by looking at their left ear. If it has a small snip or notch in the left ear, it means they have already been through the TNVR process.
If you are already feeding cats, you can work with us to become a Registered Feeder. We will educate you on TNVR options and work together to ensure the entire colony is healthy and stabilized. Please contact us to get started.
