Cedar Rapids, IA
SAINT, short for Saving Animals In Need Today, is a no-kill 501(c)(3) in Cedar Rapids dedicated to improving the lives of both domesticated and community cats. Its adoption center runs by appointment so every visit gets proper attention.
One cat: $100; two cats adopted together: $150. Fees may be reduced for senior and special needs cats.
Adopters must be 18 or older. Renters need landlord approval, which the rescue verifies directly. A home visit is required, so adoptions are limited to roughly 45 minutes travel from Cedar Rapids and to Iowa residents only.
Book an appointment through the rescue's website or Facebook page. All applicants are screened, landlords are contacted for renters, and a home visit is part of the process.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
One cat is $100, or $150 for two adopted together. Fees may be reduced for senior and special-needs cats.
By appointment: Tuesday 11:30am, Thursday 1:30pm and 6:30pm, Saturday 10:30am-2:30pm. There is also an Open House every Saturday, with a larger one the first Saturday of each month.
