Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Adoption

Pets available for adoption can go home the same day. If a pet isn’t yet spayed or neutered, approved adopters can place a non-refundable, non-transferable hold with a deposit: $20 for cats/kittens and $50 for dogs/puppies. The deposit will be applied to the adoption fee at the time of adoption.
