Our Adoption Process:

The Queenie Foundation runs a cat rescue/adoption program in CT as well as a dog rescue/adoption program in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX area (http://www.adoptapet.com/animal-shelter-search?city_or_zip=75119&shelter_name=&distance=50&adopts_out=all&imageField.x=15&imageField.y=17), We believe that one way to stop overpopulation is to release animals only after they have been sterilized. Our fosters will be fully vetted before they are ready to go home. All you add is love!

As a courtesy to other organizations and individuals, The Queenie Foundation will frequently post animals who are available for adoption. If you have found an animal in whom you are interested, we invite you to contact the person whose name appears in the body of the profile. They can tell you all you need to know about the animal.

Requirements for The Queenie Foundation's foster cats in CT: You will fill out a Companion Animal Guardian History, provide at least two personal references and your vet;s name and phone number for a reference plus agree to a home check. Once you are approved, you sign an adoption contract and we provide you with a photocopy of the animal's vet records. Adoption fee is $150 for cats and $250 for dogs (TX).

Our Adopted Pets:

We have helped lots of pets connect with loving and caring owners. Check out our adopted pets list!

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
