How do I surrender a cat to you? 

We’re sorry to hear you need to surrender a cat. All surrenders are considered by the manager, over the phone, during business hours ONLY. Please call first to see if we have space. We are a no-kill cat shelter that does NOT return to field, so our ability to take surrenders is heavily dependent on space and vet finances.

Will you accept ___ type of pet?

We only house cats in our building. Give us a call and we should be able to point you in the right direction for surrendering your pet elsewhere.

Do you have free or low cost vet care?

Unfortunately, we do not have any veterinarians on site. We recommend FL Aid to Animals or Brevard Spay and Neuter as low cost options for routine vet care. If it is a life threatening emergency, please take them to an emergency facility. Aloha Pet and Bird Hospital or Animal Specialty and Emergency Center are the local pet emergency facilities.

How much is it to adopt a cat? What should I bring? 

The adoption fee is $90.00 ($92.25 if using a card) per cat or $150 for bonded pairs. all cats will be fixed, up to date on shots, tested for FIV and FeLV, microchipped and dewormed. Please bring a cat carrier with you, we do not provide carriers by default. You may also be asked to provide paperwork that your pets at home are up to date on shots, fixed, and tested for FIV/FELV.  Identification is required, and if applicable, a copy of your lease if you rent with the clause that states you are allowed pets and how many.

What is the adoption process? 

We urge every potential adopter to spend time with the cats and engage with our knowledgable staff to find the right fit in your home. If a cat doesn’t respond positively, such as hiding or running away, it is at the discretion of management whether or not that adoption will proceed. Expect an interview and an adoption application. There is a nonrefundable hold fee of $30 for a single cat, $50 for a pair, that is set in place for a week upon adoption. This allows at least a day to process the adoption and for the adopter to prepare their home and bring a carrier. The cat(s) may be picked up at a convenient time during that week, but will be forfeited once the week has passed without communication. The deposit does go towards the adoption fee, but the fee must be paid in full before the cat leaves the building. No adoptions are started during the last half hour we are open.

Can I foster cats or kittens?

Yes! Go to our Volunteer page and fill out our foster form. Our volunteer coordinator will email you to talk about what your experience or interests are. Please note, all fosters will be on a list, and there will be a wait before you get your first foster. We do not accept new cats that will need fostering unless we have a foster waiting in the wings, ready to scoop them up and take care of them!
