FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to adopt a cat?

Cats are $10 under a county-funded fee reduction program running through June 30, 2027. That still includes spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations, and the fee is waived entirely for veterans and seniors 65 and over on qualifying pets.

What are your hours?

Monday through Friday 10am-6:30pm, with Wednesday open until 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10am-5pm.

Is the $10 fee permanent?

No. It comes from a San Bernardino County fee reduction program scheduled to run through June 30, 2027, so check before assuming it still applies.
