Star City TNR and Rescue
Our Mission
Star City TNR and Rescue is dedicated to reducing the population of free-roaming cats in Roanoke, VA, through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), providing medical care, and finding loving homes for adoptable cats and kittens. We strive to improve the lives of community cats while promoting responsible pet ownership and education to create a more compassionate and sustainable future for felines in our community.
Adoption Policy
Star City TNR and Rescue Adoption Policies:
Indoor-Only Policy: All adopted cats must be kept indoors at all times to ensure their safety and well-being.
No Declawing: Adopters must agree not to declaw their cat, as it is a painful and unnecessary procedure that can cause long-term behavioral and health issues.
Return to Rescue: If an adopter can no longer care for their cat for any reason, they must return the cat to Star City TNR and Rescue rather than rehoming or surrendering it elsewhere.
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees help cover a portion of veterinary care, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, and any other necessary medical treatment. Fees are as follows:
Kittens (under 6 months): $120
Adults (6 months – 7 years): $100
Seniors (7+ years): $50
Application Process: All potential adopters must complete an adoption application, which includes vet and personal references.
Meet-and-Greet: Adopters are encouraged to meet the cat in its foster home or a designated adoption space to ensure a good fit.
Landlord Approval: If the adopter rents their home, they must provide proof of pet-friendly housing.
Home Environment: Adopters should ensure a safe and stable home environment, including introducing the new cat properly to any existing pets.
Trial Period: In some cases, we may offer a short foster-to-adopt period to ensure the cat is a good match for the household.
Post-Adoption Support: We remain available to offer guidance and support to adopters to ensure a smooth transition for their new pet.
