Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process and Policies
Because adopting a cat or kitten is a serious decision our volunteers are here to help you find the perfect match for your home. We will provide you with background information, and help you get to know your prospective new companion. The process can take up to two hours while we go through our questionnaire and get to know you.

We ask potential adopters to fill out an adoption application prior to or at the time you meet our adoptees and to sign an agreement which outlines our adoption policies:

♥Declawing
We ask adopters not to declaw cats adopted from us. We educate adopters of the detriment of declawing, and discuss humane alternatives to declawing. When an adopter is interested in having only a declawed pet, we direct them to cats who have already undergone the procedure.

♥Indoor - Outdoor
Since cats live much longer, safer lives indoors, we prefer to adopt to indoor homes. However, we realize that there are also good indoor-outdoor homes and we are willing to discuss this as an option.

♥Spay Neuter
We do not adopt out any cat or kitten until they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV and FeLV.

♥Renting with Cats
We require written permission or a contact number to make sure your landlord allows cats, and if required, pay the pet deposit in advance of adopting.

♥ Adopters must be at least 18 years of age.

♥Cats as gifts
Cats will not be adopted to a second party, or as a gift. The care of a pet is a lifelong commitment and a very personal choice. We have a gift certificate we can make available which allows the person to come and pick out his or her own cat as a gift from the giver.

♥Barn Cats
Because we have a feral trap and release program we are often looking to place cats that are not suited for pets. These cats have typically never had an association with people. These cats would otherwise have no place to live out their lives. We require that you agree to provide shelter, food and water and take care of any medical needs that may arise. In return they will earn your respect by their great mousing skills....can you say, ‘have a mice day’!

Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Hood River, OR.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

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.
