Fees, requirements & process

From $50

Kittens (under 6 months): $95; cats (6 months-8 years): $80; senior cats (8+): $50. Fees are periodically reduced during promotions.

Requirements

Once the application is received, the approval process will take approximately 1-3 business days and you will be contacted as soon as it is completed. As a part of the approval process we verify home ownership or get approval from your landlord. We do this because one of the top 10 reasons animals are surrendered is “landlord does not allow pets.” We do not adopt to anyone under 18 years of age.

How it works

Visit during opening hours to meet available cats, or contact Humane Society of Jefferson County at (920) 674-2048 first to check which cats are currently available.
