FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I place a hold on a cat?

Yes. A $50 hold reserves an animal for 24 hours, and that fee is credited toward the adoption cost.

What if I need to rehome my pet later?

WCHS offers a lifetime return policy if your circumstances change, plus a Rehome option through Adopt-a-Pet if you would rather find the new home yourself.

Do I need an appointment to meet a cat?

No formal application is required. Just visit during open hours (Tuesday-Sunday, 12-4pm) and meet the animal in person before holding or adopting.
