Question 1

Do I need an appointment to visit the kitties?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Just stop in any time during shelter hours. Scroll to the bottom of our website to see our current hours.​Please note that children age 10 and under are not permitted in our cat rooms, as some of our cats are shy or easily stressed by younger visitors. We want to provide a calm and comfortable environment for all of the cats in our care.We understand this may be inconvenient and appreciate your understanding. If there is a particular cat an adult family member is interested in, we are happy to try to arrange a time for a younger child to come in and meet them.

Question 4

How long does the adoption process take?

Accepted Answer

You should plan on spending some time simply visiting with the cats to determine the right one for you. This is a lifelong commitment to another living creature, so please take your time. Once you choose your new feline family member, you'll need to show identification and fill out a simple adoption application and contract.​If you rent your home or apartment, you’ll be expected to provide your landlord’s name and phone number so our adoption counselor can verify that you are permitted to have a cat in your home. If you know your landlord will not be available via phone, please bring a copy of your lease agreement that specifically states that pets are permitted.​After that the process is easy. Your application will be reviewed by one of our adoption counselors and you may be asked some follow-up questions. We do not do same-day adoptions, as we are all volunteers and the approval process does take some time, so please do not expect to walk out with your new family member that day.

Question 5

When can I take my new cat home?

Accepted Answer

For cats and kittens currently in the shelter and already fixed: Once approved, you can take them home the next day we are open! For very young kittens at the shelter who are not yet fixed: These kittens can be reserved but cannot go home until they've been fixed. You will be given a pick-up date when you reserve them.
