Hello, I'm Hermey! I'm a young gentleman, about a year and a half old, and I'd like to file a formal complaint; my people moved away and left me behind, with the door open! The nerve! I stayed put like any respectable cat would, guarding my home from whatever riffraff might wander in. Eventually, a nice ACO came along and called to me kindly and convinced me it was safe to come on out. I was a bit shy at first but, once I realized I was in good hands, my sweet side showed right up. Now, I am a total love and roll over for pets and I enjoy attention. I do love hanging out with my people! If you are seeing me for a second time, I recently came back to PAC, my family loved me and loves me but their allergies were just too much. Please adopt me so I can let them know I am alright!

Additional adoption info
*ADOPTIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. To keep stress levels down for the dogs and cats, walk-through visitation have been replaced by appointments after an adoption application has been received and approved. We love to talk about our animals, please send an email to PACadoptions@providenceri.gov to start a conversation!
We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member!
You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you are 18 years of age and live at home with your parent or parents, you must have permission from your parent(s) or better yet, have them visit the adoptable animals with you!
You will need to provide proof that you own your own home, a utility bill or property tax statement with your name and address on it will do. If you rent a home or apartment, please have your landlords’ permission (a notarized letter/lease agreement/email) to own a pet or additional pets.
If you find an animal in our shelter that you would like to adopt, please fill out an adoption application online or contact PACadoptions@providenceri.gov
Once you are approved, you will pay the adoption fee and sign an adoption agreement. Please be advised that we cannot refund the adoption fee if your new pet doesn’t work out. If you are having trouble with your newly adopted pet, please feel free to call us with any questions. We can often recommend a trainer or provide behavioral advice over the phone. We accept returns of adopted animals no matter how long you have owned your adopted pet! Per the adoption contract, if you’ve lost your pet adopted from PAC, you must notify us immediately, we can help! Especially with escaped cats!
Approval depends on ownership history, current vaccines and spay/neuter status on resident animals and proof of home ownership or written permission from your landlord. We do not operate on a first come, first served basis however, if the first applicant is the best fit for the animal, adoption will be granted to that person or family. If you are curious about the status of your application, please email PACadoptions@providenceri.gov
