How much is it to adopt a cat / kitten? What is the adoption process?
Kittens are $110.00, bonded kittens are $175.00, cats up to 10 years old are $85.00, bonded adults are $125.00, and senior cats age 11 years and older are $45.00. All adoptable cats / kittens are: de-wormed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations (including rabies), spayed or neutered, dewormed, treated for parasites, and microchipped.
If you are interested in adopting, we highly recommend visiting with your new potential family member a few times before adopting. Once you've made your final decision, an adoption application must be filled out and turned in to the shelter. You can fill out an adoption application at the shelter, complete it ONLINE, or download one HERE. If you download an application, you need to bring it to the shelter in person, or email it to us at volunteer@animeals.com. Once we have your application, we will begin processing it. Once approved, you can then bring your new family member home.
The online form is recommended. No Printing, No Scanning, No Hassle.
