Cut Bank Animal Shelter

Additional adoption info

Adoption Fee is $5.00 per animal plus the cost that we have into the animal medically. We are a small shelter with a very limited budget, so we do not turn donations away.

Our Adoption contract:

CUT BANK ANIMAL SHELTER CAT ADOPTION APPLICATION

Here is an adoption application to complete, if you are interested in adopting. We are available for adoptions early evenings and weekends for adoptions. If you have more questions, we can be reached at the phone numbers below or by email. We require a reference letter from your veterinarian stating that you keep your animals current with vaccinations and emergency visits. If you rent, a letter from your landlord would be necessary, as well. These letters may be faxed to 406-873-2096 or your vet/landlord may call 406-873-4624. We will adopt to the best candidate for our cats.

We do not transport animals, so adopters must be willing to drive to Cut Bank to meet our animals in person with your family members including your other pets. This puts our animals on their home turf, so you will see the animal in a stable environment for them. You will be able to see how animals really react to your pet, because they aren't afraid in a new environment. Plan about 30 minutes to an hour for the adoption process. We do not rush things. We reserve the right to stop the adoption process at anytime, if we feel that the adoption will not work out for our animals. We want the same as you; a perfect match for new pet and owner(s).

Thank you for visiting the Animal Shelter. Our goal is to adopt companion animals to permanent, responsible and loving homes, and to minimize the number of pets returned to us. To assist us in our goal, please complete the following information.
