Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society's adoption process

Additional adoption info

No cat can be adopted without an adoption questionnaire being completed. You can find the form here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MER/Cat

Our adoption fees are $300 for a kitten one year and under, $150 for adult cats age 1-9yrs, $50 for senior cats age 10+ and $50 for special needs cats. The adoption fee includes testing for FIV and FeLV (FeLV only for kittens less than six months of age) spay/neuter, rabies, distemper, worming, flea treatments etc. Some cats and kittens may not be able to receive all of these vaccines and it will become your responsibility to make sure your new cat's vaccines are tended to. All new parents receive a health record stating what vaccines and treatments the cat has had.

Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society's adopted pets

Make a donation to Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society to help homeless pets find homes

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Salisbury, MA.

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.
