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.
