Idaho Humane Society Start an adoption application

A nonprofit humane society in Boise, Idaho, taking in homeless cats and dogs and placing them in adoptive homes. It serves Boise and statewide Idaho (largest and oldest animal welfare organization and veterinary charity in the state). This organization does not publish a public street address, which is typical of foster-based rescues, so contact them to arrange meeting a cat. Adoption fees: Kittens 8-16 weeks: $100; cats 17 weeks-4 years: $50; cats 5-7 years: $25; cats 7+ years: $10 (includes spay/neuter, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, and microchip).
