Why
should I
adopt a pet?
Adopting a pet is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make! When you adopt from a shelter, you’re giving an animal a second chance at life and freeing up space for others in need. Shelter pets come with unique personalities and so much love to give, and many have already been vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and socialized. Unlike buying from breeders or pet stores, adoption helps fight against overpopulation and unethical breeding practices. Plus, studies show that having a pet can improve your health by reducing stress, increasing physical activity, and providing companionship. When you adopt, you’re not just getting a pet, you’re saving a life and gaining a loyal friend!

Are there any adoption requirements?
Yes, our goal is to ensure that every cat finds a safe, loving, and permanent home. To adopt, you must be at least 18
years old and complete an adoption application. We may ask about your living situation, other pets, and experience
with animals to help find the best match for you and the cat. If you rent, we may need confirmation that pets are allowed. All current pets in the home should be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure a healthy environment. Some cats
may have specific needs, and we’ll discuss any special requirements during the adoption process. Our team is here to
guide you and help you find the perfect companion!

Choosing the right pet is an important decision that should be based on your lifestyle, home environment, and expectations. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect match:
