Adopt A Cat is a nonprofit, 501(c)3, volunteer organization whose goal is to find loving, safe, permanent homes for cats and kittens who have been rescued from dangerous situations of all kinds. All of our funding comes from donations and adoption fees. Funds are used for veterinary care and supplies. Donations are tax deductible.
Cats can live an average of 12-20 years. During a cat’s lifetime; its adopter can experience many life changes. Our adoption process, including a detailed application and interview, is designed to determine that a potential adopter is a serious applicant ready for the commitment of caring for a cat for its whole life, come what may. We require references, including a veterinary reference if possible and signing of our adoption contract. Adopt A Cat reserves the right to decline any adoption at our sole discretion.
Our adoption fees vary and are contingent upon the age of the cat or kitten and other factors. The state requires an additional spay/neuter deposit which is refunded upon written notice of spaying or neutering. We accept cash or checks made out to Adopt A Cat. All of the cats and kittens we offer for adoption have been spayed or neutered if they are over 6 months old, tested for the FELV and FIV viruses, wormed and given their initial vaccines. If necessary, they have been treated for fleas and ear mites and their ears are cleaned and nails trimmed. Veterinary records are provided.
It may take a couple of days from the time you complete your adoption application until your new kitty can come home. The length of time can depend on how easy it is to check references. If you rent your home, we will need evidence that cats are permitted and there are no limitations on cat ownership that would conflict with our adoption policies. Once an application is approved, we will make appointment to complete the adoption process. You will need a cat carrier to safely transport the cat.
Most cats are quite social therefore two cats are usually better than one. This is a requirement if a kitten is under 6 months unless you have a younger cat. There is a misconception that male cats are more likely to spray in the house and some people are reluctant to adopt them for that reason. The fact is that male or female cats who are not neutered or spayed could exhibit this territorial behavior. This is just one of the many reasons to spay or neuter your cat. Many cat lovers prefer male cats because they are often more affectionate and less territorial than females.
You can reach us by calling 215-741-1166 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. or by e-mailing aacjane@netzero.net. We are experienced cat caretakers and have been active for many years.
