社團法人中華民國學貓過貓咪中途愛心照護協會 is a cat-focused foster and rescue-care organization based in Neihu District, Taipei. Its mission is to bring together cat-loving supporters so stray cats can receive reasonable, friendly, safe, and healthy care, then be adopted into suitable homes. Unlike a municipal shelter, 學貓過 is closer to a dedicated cat foster home and intermediate-care organization. Its work includes emergency street-cat rescue, post-sterilization foster placement, maintaining foster cats’ health, keeping food and care environments clean, and regularly holding adoption activities. Public records also show long-term attention to middle-aged, senior, FIV-positive, and FeLV-positive cats, who often need more medical care, patience, and ongoing support.
學貓過 is not built around high-volume sheltering. Its focus is helping rescued cats receive stable, safe, and friendly foster care while they recover and wait for suitable adoptive homes.
Public materials repeatedly mention medical and care needs for middle-aged, senior, FIV-positive, and FeLV-positive cats. This makes the organization’s work about more than adopting out kittens; it also helps harder-to-place cats be seen.
The official adoption process is not a one-visit immediate take-home. It begins with an appointment to meet cats, continues with an interview, and then includes a home visit, door/window safety review, and follow-up agreement.
Keelung City Pet Bank (基隆市寵物銀行) is operated by the Keelung City Animal Protection and Disease Prevention Office (基隆市動物保護防疫所) and is the only public animal shelter in Keelung City. Located at No. 45-12, Dahua 3rd Road, Qidu District — adjacent to Xinxin Anle Garden cemetery — the shelter's name "Pet Bank" is unique among Taiwan's public shelters, conveying the idea of animals being temporarily deposited while waiting for adoption. The facility has three dog buildings and a dedicated cat room located within the shelter's medical area, separate from the dog kennels to reduce stress on cats. Keelung City has taken a strict approach to source management: since 2018, no new pet breeding licenses have been issued in the city. The Animal Protection Team prioritizes rescuing injured or at-risk animals rather than mass capture, and offers a trap cage loan service for residents who need to help capture injured stray animals. Prospective adopters must complete a pre-adoption interview assessment form and consent to 6 months of post-adoption follow-up via LINE@, making this one of the more structured adoption screening programs among Taiwan's public shelters.
Faith for Animals Association is a legally registered animal-protection organization in Taiwan. Its roots come from the NTU Life Care Club’s long-term TNvR work with campus and northern Taiwan stray dogs. Unlike a rescue group centered on shelter housing, public visiting, or direct adoption listings, Faith for Animals focuses on scientific, high-intensity female-dog sterilization as a way to reduce stray-dog populations at the source. Its work combines population surveys, household visits, public reporting, humane capture and transport, veterinary surgery, microchip registration, and return-to-place follow-up, working with local residents, volunteers, and government partners to reduce puppy births, shelter pressure, and human-dog conflict.
Faith for Animals is distinctive because it does not focus only on individual injured or adoptable animals. It works area by area, concentrating resources on unspayed female dogs and using data-driven fieldwork to prevent more puppies from entering the stray cycle.
The organization divides project areas into routes, visits households, gathers dog information, and identifies unspayed female dogs, including stray dogs and owned dogs who are free-roaming, caged, or chained outdoors. This is different from a passive service model where the public simply brings animals in.
Faith for Animals publicly explains that keeping every dog for adoption would require foster space, adopter matching, and long-term follow-up capacity that cannot keep pace with large-scale reproduction. Its main service flow therefore prioritizes sterilization, vaccination, microchipping, and return-to-place.
If your dog or cat was picked up as a stray, they may be in a municipal shelter under a mandatory hold period while staff try to locate you. Search below to see animals currently in hold across Taiwan's shelters.
Built by rescuers, for rescuers. Because the animals in your care deserve better tools than a group chat.
You didn't get into rescue to manage a spreadsheet. Every minute spent on paperwork is a minute not spent on the animals. Pawsumes handles the admin — applications, intake records, foster coordination, adoption tracking — freeing your team to focus on what matters.
Life changes. We know how hard it is to rehome a pet you love. Pawsumes gives individuals a safe, transparent way to find a vetted new home — without judgment, without fees.
