Strays in the Garden's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our Adoption Fee for Felines is $120.00 which includes:
1. Feline Leukemia and FIV Test:
2. Deworming:
3. 1st Distemper Shot:
4. Spay or Neuter:
5. Rabies Vaccination:
6. Microchip:

All of our pets are tested for FE-LK-FIV, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and ( if old enough ) spayed and neutered before adoption.. Each of them is properly socialized and we take pride in getting them ready for their new life in a forever home. Due to the economic downturn we have been overwhelmed with strays and turn-ins. There are some wonderful animals available. It is a wonderful feeling to give a homeless cat or dog a home. We will work with you to let you visit with all of them, to be able to pick the one that will be a good match.

About Strays in the Garden

OUR MISSION is to try to make people aware of the importance of picking the animal that is right for you and then doing right to that animal for the rest of its life. Getting the message out about the importance of spaying and neutering is extremely important to us. We are aware that there are many misconceptions about felines and we do our best to clear some of those up.

When an animal comes into our care we do our best to make them feel secure and assess their health to see if immediate medical care is needed. They are tested for serious/contagious disease, wormed, micro-chipped, altered and vaccinated. The next step is of course waiting for adoption. In some cases, the wait is very long. Ultimately, the perfect match comes along and off they go. So many of our adopters come back with pictures or heartwarming stories of their new lives.

We are currently looking for dependable individuals that are willing to give about one hour a week to volunteer for cage attendants, transportation, vet visits, assist on adoption days or foster. There is no reason why any one ever has to be bored. Volunteerism is a win/win situation and one of the most fulfilling activities you can participate in.

We reserve the right to refuse any application that we feel for whatever reason is not going to be a good match. We also reserve the right to not have to disclose the reason.

Strays in the Garden's adopted pets

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

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.
