Rural Appalachian Cat Rescue & Sanctuary's adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our cats are vetted before adoption which includes spay/neuter, physical exam, testing for FIV/Felv, annual, Felv, and rabies immunizations. If interested in adopting, you must fill out an adoption application and provide a veterinarian reference and two personal references. We bring your new kitty to you so we can see if the home is going to be a good fit for the kitty and the new family :)

About Rural Appalachian Cat Rescue & Sanctuary

Our rescue was formed because our county does not have an animal shelter or any type of animal control. We rescue & re-home adoptable cats, and TNR (trap, spay/neuter, & release) ferals in the many colonies throughout our area. Our mission is to improve the lives of stray and unwanted cats in our area through rescue & TNR programs.

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.
