NO EXCEPTIONS, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK!

Visit our home page at www.cats-meow.org.

Please Note:

We regret that we are unable to accept any more animals into this rescue program at this time. Please do not ask our adoption counselors to take in any animals during adoption events. They are not authorized to intake any pets and they do not have the time nor the facilities to care for additional animals. As a resource, please call 480-898-pets or 1-888-pets911 or visit www.1888pets911.com for information and referral.

Due to extreme weather conditions in Phoenix during the summer, and in other parts of the country in the winter, we do not ship animals out of the greater Phoenix area at any time. We adopt to families in the east valley cities of the greater Phoenix area. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis, if we have Adoption Counselors in that area to perform the adoptions. Petfinder provides us with the sites to show our animals online. We do not have any control over their search engines that may show our animals outside of this area.

OUR ADOPTION SCHEDULE
We are available some day hours, and most evenings and weekends to show our kitties. Please email us at adoptacat@cats-meow.org to arrange a mutually convenient time and place.

ADOPTION LOCATION
We can arrange a "meet and greet" at your home or at one of our foster homes. Contact information is listed on each pet's page. Please email us at adoptacat@cats-meow.org to arrange a convenient time and place.

WHO WE ARE

We are a private organization dedicated to finding suitable homes for homeless, abused and unwanted cats. We carry out our mission through caring for these cats in foster homes until they can be placed in permanent loving homes and educating the public about responsible pet care.

ADOPTION PACKAGE

CatsMeow - Voice for the Cats offers a comprehensive adoption package*.
Adoption fees include:

Sterilization (spay or neuter)
Age-appropriate vaccinations
A medical check-up
Testing for Feline Leukemia/FIV **
Temperament Assessment
Fecal check
Treatment of common medical conditions
General grooming
Informational handouts on pet health and behavior
Trained adoption counselors to help you find the right animal.

*Services rendered depend on the specific needs of each animal.
**Feline Leukemia/FIV testing may be done just on the mother of a litter of nursing kittens, or on one or two kittens in a litter.
***New cats and kittens coming into our organization are now being microchipped when they are spayed or neutered. There were some cats in foster homes that were altered before the microchipping program was initiated and are not currently chipped. These pets can be microchipped upon adoption for an additional fee of $40.

CAT & KITTEN ADOPTION FEE
Cats or Kittens - Reasonable and affordable fees are set by the foster home.

The Buddy System!
Adult cats who have lived together understand the world in relation to each other and ideally should not be separated. They are buddies!

CatsMeow - Voice for the Cats offers special Buddy System program adoption fees to encourage their adoption together. Two is twice is nice! Ask about special reduced adoption fees when adopting two pals together.

About our "COURTESY POSTING" Kitties!
We sometimes post pets for individuals who have rescued a dog or cat or litter of kittens. In return for the posting, they have to agree to have the animal spayed/neutered before adopting it to a new home. They ask for an adoption donation to help offset the cost of veterinary care and altering those animals in their care. The amount they request may vary. In many cases, the cost of caring for these rescued pets is much more than the small donation they may request as many animals are sick or injured when found. They also welcome donations of food and litter to help offset their costs of caring for rescued pets.
