Adoptable Cats & Dogs

Cats

Adoption versus Free

If you’re considering adding a new pet to your family, we urge you to adopt instead of buy a pet. By adopting from a shelter or rescue group, you are ensuring that you are not supporting the inhumane commercial breeding facilities (puppy/kitten mills) that supply pet stores and sell pets online. As an extra bonus, you are doing your part to fight pet overpopulation and save homeless animals. In addition, when you adopt from a rescue group you know what you are getting because the group has a history of the animal. The rescue group also help you with continued support because they are invested in providing a good home for that animal. An adopted pet is every bit as loving, intelligent and loyal as a purchased pet—give these pets a second chance!

Dogs

Dogs are managed differently than our cats. Due to staffing, any dogs that we intake first go to a foster family for care. The dog sees the vet for a health check, a determination is made as to when a spay or neuter procedure is to take place and vaccinations are updated. After this evaluation the dog is made available for adoption. The fees involved with canines vary according to a number of factors and may vary from one adoption to the next. These details will be discussed with the prospective adopter.

The current “Pets available for Adoption” may be found on our Facebook page under “Photos”and see the most recent “Pets for Adoption” album.

• Fill out a Pre-Adoption Application: Click here to fill out the online form or visit the shelter and fill the form out.
• Our adoption committee, made up of volunteers, will review your application and contact you.
• Adoption fee: An important part of pet ownership (as if anyone really owns a cat!) is the realization that a visit to a vet, at least on an annual basis, will be required. Your new cat has had a series of vaccinations and has also been spayed(girls) or neutered (guys) to prepare them for their new home. All of this costs money and must be raised by VCSPCA volunteers. To help offset the cost of getting your new cat ready for you to love, we have an adoption fee of $130 for adult cats and $160-200 for kittens (some kittens have advanced testing required for off site adoptions eg “cat cafes”) .
