Cats receive a Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids test and dogs receive a Heartworm test. The adoption fee for a dog is $175.00 and includes a dog license, rabies tag and collar, fee for puppies is $225.00. The adoption fee for a cat is $50.00, and the adoption fee for a kitten is $125.00. The UCSPCA accepts cash and major credit cards (except AMEX) only for the adoption fee.
