My name is Katerina!

How to adopt: The adoption process is not difficult; it is aimed at assuring that you and your cat or dog are good matches and will have a long and happy future together. A questionnaire gathers information about you, your family, and any other pets you may have. Then, in a brief adoption review, one of our adoption counselors will discuss your compatibility with the cat or dog you have selected. Our standard adoption fees are as follows and help cover a portion of the cost of the services included in our adoption packages: Spayed/Neutered $70.00 Cat/Kitten $140.00 Dog $175.00 Puppy *If an animal cannot be spayed/neutered prior to leaving the Shelter (e.g. they are too young), we are required to charge a $35 Spay/Neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. Once verification of sterilization is provided, these monies are refunded. The adoption fee for all cats includes: • A complete physical exam at a participating veterinarian • Rabies vaccination • Feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus, and pneumonitis vaccinations • Testing for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus, and feline heartworm • Two doses of dewormer for round and hookworms • One dose of flea preventive and microchipping (when available) • 30 day free pet health insurance Adopters are entitled to a free grooming for their newly adopted shelter companion within 30 days of adoption at a participating pet salon. Dogs receive: • A complete physical examination at a participating veterinary hospital or veterinary clinic • Rabies vaccination • Canine distemper virus, parvovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus and leptospirosis vaccinations • Two doses of dewormer for roundworms and hookworms • One dose of flea preventive • Microchipping (when available) • 30 days of free pet health insurance Silver Paws Program (Seniors for Seniors) If you are a Senior Citizen (55 years and over) adoption fees may be completely waived for select shelter animals.
