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. Our average adoption fee is $55.00 for cats under 10 years old, and $35 for senior cats 10 years old and older. 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. Their adoption fee is $50. 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

Older and unadoptable cats are subject to the rules of our Immediate Care Program. Please note that the Shelter does not accept feral cats.
