Adoption Procedures
Adoption Procedures
There is a $60 NON-REFUNDABLE FEE for all animals which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered there is a $35 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT upon proof of surgery. An adoption application must be filled out at the Shelter by the person wishing to adopt the animal. Once the application has been reviewed and approved the potential adopter may visit and meet any of the animals. All cats must leave the Shelter in a cat carrier. Please bring a cat carrier.
If a cat is at Petco, it will state it in the description. All other cats are available at the Shelter. You can visit our cats and kittens at Petco anytime during their regular store hours. Adoption applications are available at Petco for the cats residing at Petco. The store is located in the Target Plaza on Veteran's Memorial Highway in the Town of Batavia.
Cats available for adoption
In a foster home - Lucy is a 6 year old spayed female White and Black DSH. Her mom passed away and she was brought to the Shelter. She has not done well in the Shelter so we found a foster home for her. Lucy is much improved. She will hide if someone new comes in her room . Her adjustment time for a new person is 2 to 4 days then the lovebug comes out. We are hoping a loving and patient person will come along that will give Lucy the time she needs to show off her loving personality. Lucy would do best in a quiet home with no children. Email us if you would like to meet Lucy info@vol4animals.org

Working Cats
Periodically we get cats into the Shelter that are just not cut out for living in a home. They are happiest living outdoors. Some may be fearful of humans or have behavioral issues that make it impossible to live indoors. Regardless of the issue these cats, when given the right “home,” can live happy and productive lives. If you have a barn, stable, workshop, or warehouse you can save a life while receiving companionship and potentially expert, environmentally-friendly rodent control!
If you are interested in talking with a volunteer about adopting a working cat, please email us at info@vol4animals.org and include a phone number that we can reach you at.
