Cat's Paw Rescue and Sanctuary's adoption process

An adoption application must be filled out first. Vet references are required and will be checked. An interview will be scheduled and a home visit completed before adoption approval. Our adoption fees vary depending on the cat/kitten.

About Cat's Paw Rescue and Sanctuary

Cat's Paw Rescue and Sanctuary has been operating for many years, however, we just recently incorporated in October 2015. We rescue mostly cats that are facing imminent death in high-kill shelters. These animals can be shelter cats on death row or abandoned or neglected kitties. We work through fosters and transporters and are always looking for help in that area. Rescued cats are taken to our sanctuary to recover and receive any needed medical attention (including spay/neuter and vaccines) before finding them loving forever homes. Some kitties find a permanent home at the Sanctuary. If you are interested in helping, please send us a message or call.

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.
