Our ultimate goal is to find loving homes for each of our resident
cats. When you adopt from Friends of Cats, you will find a lifetime
friend. We encourage you to take your time when selecting a new family
member, as personalities differ greatly. Visit the various cat corrals
to pet and talk to the current residents. Our staff will be happy to
make suggestions to meet your needs. Starting June 1, 2011 our average
adoption fee will increase from $55.00
to $75 for cats under 10 years old, and $35 for senior cats 10 years
old and
older. Ask about reduced rates for multiple adoptions. All of our
cats have been spayed or neutered and are
microchipped. They have also been screened for good health and are
current on most shots. All cats are tested negative for FELV and FIV.
When you adopt, you will also receive a certificate good for a visit to
a local veterinarian.
Have a dog, and aren’t sure if Fluffy and Fido will get along? Friends
of Cats has an enclosure where you can bring your dog to meet and greet
your potential new family member and spend time getting to know one
another. Talk to a staff member for details. Friends of Cats accepts
cash, checks and Visa/Mastercard for all transactions.
A Note About Kittens:
Friends Of Cats often has kittens for adoption. Contact the shelter
about their availability and kitten adoption fees. This includes
current FVRCP and rabies vaccinations, FELV and FIV negative testing,
heartworm testing, microchip, and spaying/neutering. All adoptions come
with a free veterinary visit within 10 days of adoption and a free
adoption kit.

Relinquishments
Relinquishing a cat requires an appointment with our office staff. A
blood test for FIV and FELV is required. There is a fee for
Relinquishments. Older and unadoptable cats are subject to the rules of
our
Immediate Care Program. Please note that the Shelter does not accept
feral cats. Call us at 619-561-0361 ext 0 for further information about
relinquishment and to schedule an appointment.
