OUR ADOPTION POLICY:

At the CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY, we adopt out cats and kittens to permanent homes only, and all of our cats are spayed or neutered to prevent continued overpopulation. Young kittens are adopted with a spay or neuter certificate to have this procedure done safely when they are old enough.  All cats more than three months old are tested for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. They are routinely vaccinated, wormed and treated for  fleas. They are treated lovingly and are given help for any special needs. We place approximately 600 cats and kittens in homes every year. Currently our adoption fee is $40.

During the Open House for the CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY's new facility, we captured this happy adoption sequence.

Meet some of the residents at the CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY. They would love for you to take them home.

We even have a few dogs that are available for adoption.

There are more cats of all sizes, shapes, colors, personalities--you name it--at the CAT PROTECTION SOCIETY. Come see for yourself!

GOODBYE SWEET ESMERELDA

When adopting your pet, keep in mind that special needs and older cats want homes, too. They make very appreciative house pets.

Many of you have met Esmerelda. She arrived at our shelter about eleven years ago--she was one of our first residents. She also had feline leukemia. Her personality was questionable at first, but after a while she settled in and became our matriarch. All of these years she has watched her friends come and go. She was always left behind. We tried to be her family knowing she would most likely never leave. No matter how hard we tried, we were not home. After awhile she gave up trying to impress adopters since she almost never got a second glance. As the years passed the disease began to take its toll. She got thinner and thinner, she lost her luxurious coat and her eyes faded. We loved her more. When we knew her time was short one of our volunteers took her home. Everyday she was told, "Ezzy, YOU WERE PICKED!" Ezzy began grooming herself again and even sharpened her claws on the antique hutch.  This past fall, Ezzy peacefully died in her sleep. Goodbye Ezzy. We'll miss you.
