The Shelter does not cage cats and kittens unless there is a necessity to do so, medical or behavioral, so cats roam freely.

Nip those toxic memories in the … this Valentine’s Day, while spreading love to feral cats!

For $50, we’ll name a feline after your ex, then neuter or spay it.

You’ll receive a picture of the cat to relish.

Just click the donate button, select the "HONOR" box, then type your ex's name.

Only first names or nicknames, please.

Cats will be released back to their colony as part of our TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) program.

TNR breaks the breeding cycle, stopping thousands of unwanted kittens from being born into a life of suffering. TNR also reduces breeding behaviors, such as hair-raising screeching, fighting and spraying.

So go ahead, claw back for a good cause!

You may have seen recent news about the H5N1 virus, also known as 'avian flu' or 'bird flu.' This article highlights a potential risk to domestic cats that consume raw food, including commercially prepared raw diets or raw milk. While we’re not here to cause alarm, we do think it’s important to stay informed. This virus has shown the potential to be very serious, so we wanted to share this information to help raise awareness. There’s still much to learn about H5N1, and we’ll do our best to stay updated and keep you informed as well.

Our Story

Save Our Cats and Kittens Shelter and Adoption Center was founded in 1995 by Sara DeMonbrun who could not sit by and do nothing while unwanted cats and kittens reproduced and suffered all around us. She started in her home but soon expanded to a small house on Racetrack Road. She started the Thrift Store to ensure there was funding coming in. Eventually incorporated as a 501(c)3 not for profit, SOCKS moved to 498 Carmel Dr in Fort Walton Beach where we now reside. Housing up to 75 cats and kittens, as well as overseeing the foster care of many others, SOCKS now finds permanent homes for 400 cats and kittens per year. While they await their perfect person’s arrival, they are allowed to roam freely and interact with our human guests. The Catio allows them safe access to the outdoors.

SOCKS exists solely on donations and fundraisers as well as the proceeds from our SOCKS Thrift Store located on the same property. We receive no government funding. Volunteers provide much-needed assistance to our few employees.

Our mission is to take in as many unwanted cats and kittens as we safely can, educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets to avoid overpopulation, provide information and resources for lower cost options, and working with other rescues and shelters, find homes for all of them. Once they come to SOCKS they are always considered part of the SOCKS family. We love them as our own.
