Purrfect Pets's adoption process
1.
Submit Application
You can submit an application online, or fill one out at the shelter. It helps us match you and your household to the right cat!
2.
Approve Application
One of our staff members will review your application. If you rent your home, we'll need to check with your landlord that cats are OK.
3.
Sign Adoption Contract
Besides basic care, we also require that our cats are kept indoors and never declawed.
4.
Pay Fee
Adoption fees vary from cat to cat, but kittens are generally more expensive because they cost us a lot more to care for!
5.
Take the Pet Home
You can bring a carrier with you, or you can buy a cardboard one from us for $7. We sometimes have gently used carriers available too.
Additional adoption info
An adoption application needs to be filled out and approved. We invite you to stop by our adoption center and visit the cats and kittens in person. Talk with an adoption counselor for information on each animal. We will help you find your match! A contract is signed upon approval and adoption. Fees can vary from cat to cat, depending on age, breed, and other factors, and usually range from $100-$220.

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.
