What Saint Francis does is the greatest thing for our Fur babies I reached out for help and they were there within 30 minutes the minutes I can't thank them enough for saving these sweet babies and finding them a loving home One of the great organizations out there

2 part answer. The thrift shop is small but full of a bit of everything and quite reasonably priced. If you can't find it the volunteers will gladly let you know if it happens exists there and even help you find it. Packed full but very clean welcoming atmosphere. The adoption center is very friendly and reasonable fees. Not sure why a FEW people are complaining about fee on reviews as the cats come fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and vet checked which would cost WAY MORE if you had to do all these things at a vet. Very helpful finding the correct "fit" and which cats need certain homes. I was very impressed with the whole operation and could tell this place truly cared about the cats.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Are you a no-kill shelter?

Sherry Harris | Aug 24, 2019
Brendan Betancourt | Aug 24, 2019

I do not work there... But from my understanding yes. They keep the cats that are "unadoptable" in another area. I also like their background check process and education towards new adopters.

I have a stray male cat that apparently has "adopted" me. He's not neutered and needs to be because he's marking everywhere. I really like him but I'm on a VERY limited income. Do you neuter at low cost?

We do not have a clinic onsite for spay or neuter....but we are working on raising the funds to buy one. Contact Suncoast Humane Society or Cat Depot for low cost spay neuter.

Do you accept gently used blankets, towels, and pillows?

Maria Ozer | Jul 24, 2022

Yes they do. I just donated a bunch. They pick out which ones they can put in the thrift shop to sell and which they can use in the shelter for the cats. I love that. Hope that helps you. Thank you for caring. No, I don't work or volunteer there yet.

Do you want costume jewelry to sell at the store? It’s all in good condition.

does this ASPCA do vaccines for small dogs?

Georgia Duininck | Aug 23, 2020
St. Francis Animal Rescue of Venice | Aug 23, 2020

HI Georgia, We are not an ASPCA we are a small non-profit cat only Rescue. You might try one on of the Mobile Vaccine places around town. One of the auto parts stores on Tamiami is ( having a low cost clinic this month and the pet food stores have them from time. You can also call Animal Rescue Coalition ( ARC ) they offer them, but they are all the way in Sarastoa off of Fruitville. There are many options.

Found Sphynx breed of cat roaming Venice Gardens neighborhood. Has anyone reported to you this missing cat?

Donna Jahn | Aug 24, 2019
St. Francis Animal Rescue of Venice | Aug 24, 2019

If you have the cat you can take him to the shelter or to any vet, they will scan him for a miscrochip. I think the Sarasota Animal services can also come out and scan him for a chip. Their number is 941-861-9500

Do you have any kittens available now for adoption?

Ad Dunlop | Aug 24, 2019

They usually do

My sister brought some pet food in to donate and was appalled at how bad the place smelled of cat urine. I truly hope that was a one time situation

SANDRA JAMES | Aug 24, 2019

I have volunteered at the shelter for a couple of years & have not encountered this. That having been said, St Francis cares for dozens of cats & a cat may have just sprayed urine or the litter wasn't good @ odor control. The place is cleaned every morning & volunteers work throughout the day, cleaning litter boxes, making sure the cats have clean water etc. Management makes sanitary conditions a priority.
