My name is Catelyn!

Please note: We don’t DNA test our cats. Catelyn is likely just a domestic long hair mix. However, "Maine coon" has become synonymous with long haired cats. If you do further research, you'll find that most cats in the US are made up of a variety of different breeds, and we think Catelyn falls into that category of "vaguely long haired cat that is mistakenly called a Maine Coon her entire life."  Either way, we know she’s 100% cute! 

Catelyn is a six-year-old sweetheart with a gentle, friendly personality. She’s spayed, up to date on all her vaccines, and ready to find her forever home.

This lovely girl was sadly returned to us after her previous owners moved out of the country and couldn’t take her along. Despite the change, Cat has stayed her affectionate, easygoing self. She loves attention, enjoys lounging in sunny spots, and will happily keep you company while you relax or work.

Catelyn would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loving friend who just wants to be part of a family again. Fill out an application to meet her and we can see if she's your purrfect match!

3. Phone Interview/Vet Check. Compatible applicants will be forwarded to a counselor who will contact the applicant for a phone interview. We also get a reference from your vet, if applicable.


4. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in. We will try to include the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Due to COVID, we may ask you to send a video of your yard and the pet's expected living space.


5. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at your home or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $125 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets.
