Archie's Story

***If you can see me, I am still available! We prefer everything regarding adoption be done via email, this way we can answer any time or day! We like to have an application submitted before scheduling a visit but it's not required, an email conversation is great! If you don’t have access to email, no worries, please call 401 680 7591. We differ from other shelters by offering a one-on-one experience between you, our staff and the animal or animals you've chosen to become a new family member! Please email adoptions@friendsofpaccc.org***** Hello, I’m Archie. I’m a loving 4-year-old kitty who found my way to PAC after some changes at home. Out of respect for my family, I won’t go into details—just know that this was the best next step for me. I’m a little shy, though not nearly as much as I used to be. I’m really trying my hardest! Slow movements and soft voices for me please! I feel most comfortable when you pet me from the side—reaching straight for my noggin can make me unsure, but once I feel safe, I truly enjoy affection. I’d love a quiet home where I can relax and build confidence, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun together. I could also live happily with another gentle kitty who understands my calm nature. I’m ready to learn what life can really be like in a loving forever home.

Providence Animal Control's Adoption Policy

*All adoptions are by appointment only and we do need an application submitted first!* How do I adopt? You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you are 18 years of age and live at home with your parent or parents, you must have permission from your parent(s) or better yet, have them visit the adoptable animals with you! You will need to provide proof that you own your own home, a utility bill or property tax statement with your name and address on it will do. If you rent a home or apartment, please have your landlords’ permission (a letter/lease agreement or email) to own a pet or multiple pets. If you find an animal on our PetFinder page that you would like to visit/adopt, please contact PACadoptions@providenceri.gov for an application. Once you are approved, you will visit the animal(s) you are interested in and if the meet and greet goes well, adoption next steps will be given; pay the adoption fee and sign an adoption agreement etc. Please be advised that we cannot refund the adoption fee if your new pet doesn’t work out. If you are having trouble with your newly adopted pet, please feel free to call us with any questions. We can often recommend a trainer or provide behavioral advice over the phone. We accept returns of adopted animals no matter how long you have owned your adopted pet! Per the adoption contract, if you’ve lost your pet adopted from PAC, you must notify us immediately, we can help! Especially with escaped cats! Approval depends on ownership history, current vaccines and spay/neuter status on resident animals and proof of home ownership or written permission from your landlord. We do not operate on a first come, first served basis however, if the first applicant is the best fit for the animal, adoption will be granted to that person or family.
