We also offer a buy one, get one half off adoption fee when you adopt any two cats or kittens! (this covers the pet's spay/neuter surgery, microchip, vet check, vaccinations and any other necessary vet care).
Please note we go by a first come first serve basis for adoptions so please keep that in mind when setting up your adoption meets.
Due to high volume of emails we will not be able to answer all emails regarding basic questions. Some things to note
-If an animal is no longer listed on the site they are no longer available for adoption.
-When you apply for a pet your information will be sent to the foster parent. They will reach out to you to answer any questions you have regarding the pet.
-Applying for a pet requires no commitment towards the adoption. If you find out that pet is not the right fit for you, we can recommend another pet for you.
