$300 for kittens (2 months-1 year old), $150 for adult cats (1-7 years old), $75 for seniors (7 years old and up). Additional fees may include a 3% non-cash payment fee, adoption hold fees ($50 for up to 2 weeks, $75 for up to 4 weeks), and a $75 pre-adoption fee for underage kittens.

Requirements

Adopters must commit to an indoor-only household and agree to never declaw the cat(s). Bonded pairs must always be adopted together and will not be separated under any circumstances. Approved adopters have one calendar week from approval to schedule pickup before hold fees apply.

How it works

Adopters must complete at least two separate visits focused on spending time with the cat(s) at least one week apart to ensure thoughtful decision-making. Following the two visits, applicants submit an online adoption application; once approved, adopters schedule pickup during store hours with at least 24 hours advance notice.
