Our Adoption Policies...
WE HAVE KITTENS! We actually have quite a number of kittens! Our kittens can be adopted when they are 6 to 8 weeks old and are eating on their own. They can be tested for feline leukemia and AID's when they are 4 to 6 weeks old. They can be wormed at any time as needed. They cannot be given rabies shots until they are 12 weeks old or disemper shots until they are at least 8 weeks old. We generally try to test them and give them shots at the same time. If you adopt a kitten from us we collect a $35 spay/neuter deposit, which is included in the adoption fee and is refunded to you when you send us a certificate from your vet or a clinic that the kitten has been altered.
We have an adoption contract that requires 3 basic things, 1) All cats must be kept indoors, 2) No declawing, 3) If, for any reason, you need to give the cat away it must be returned to us.
Our adoption fee for kittens or cats is $75 and for puppies or dogs is $100. Cats and dogs that appear to be purebred are an extra $50 each. For adult cats and dogs this fee includes tests, shots, altering, flea treatments, ear mite treatments, worming, food, and loving care while in our shelter. (We are a no kill shelter. We will never put an animal to sleep unless it has a terminal illness, is in pain, and/or is suffering.)
Some people think our adoption fee is expensive, but, if you are going to do the right thing by your pet, you need to de-worm, de-flea and de-ear mite the pet and get it tested, give it all the shots, and alter it. If you get a "free" kitten or cat and go to a vet for these services, we guarantee that you will spend more money than our adoption fee. You may also need to treat it for fleas, ticks, ear mites, worms, and/or an upper respiratory infection. If you cannot afford these tests, shots, and altering costs, you should think twice about having a pet.
Our Featured Pet...
Perseus is a handsome, large, yellow tabby cat who was returned to us because he was fighting with his brother, Pollux. He was living in a stressful home environment. We do not know what exactly transpired in this household but Perseus is now afraid of men. We think he may have been overdisciplined by the head of the household. He is fine with women and follows us around like a puppy dog just looking for attention! When he comes in contact with a man who really likes cats and who is soft spoken he is fine. We think it is only a matter of time before he learns to trust men again. He is not fond of being picked up, but he is too heavy for many to pick up anyway.
When we first got Perseus back he was lethargic and wouldn't eat. We thought there was something physically wrong with him and rushed him to the hospital. They tested him and found nothing wrong. We think he may have remembered being here when he was a kitten because he finally started responding positively to Carol and Kim and started coming out of his depression. He is a happy cat now and is super friendly. We would love to find him a great home because he is a neat cat and deserves it.

Our mission is to rescue stray and abandoned companion animals, provide health care for them (including spay/neuter as required), provide temporary homes, socialize them, and locate loving permanent homes. We are a nonprofit organization in Greene County, NY. All our helpers are volunteers. We currently are caring for over 110 animals in foster homes.
We are providing a community service with very little help on very limited funds. We need your financial help to enable us to continue our good work.
