Simply Cats is Simply Incredible! They use an extensive application process to ensure kitties are matched with their perfect fur-ever families. By using a "by appointment only" approach, visits to kitties are scheduled so they aren't overwhelmed by a lot of people at once. Screening potential adopters via email allowed me to communicate when it was convenient for me. Staff answered my questions and I felt like they got to know me before I visited the facility. When we arrived for our appointment, my daughter and I were introduced to several kitties that had the attributes that correlated with the information I put on my application. I was looking for an older cat to adopt and the staff at Simply Cats introduced me to Tiger Lily. Staff allowed us a tremendous amount of time to spend with Lily, told us about her personality, her medical history, what she liked to eat, etc. I fell in love with her and adopted her! She's perfect! Adopting a pet is a big responsibility and not one Simply Cats takes lightly at all. The process takes a bit of time but it's worth it. The staff and volunteers at Simply Cats love each kitty who comes to them and dedicates all of their time and resources to caring for and finding the perfect homes for them. If you want the perfect kitty to join your family, contact Simply Cats! Be honest on your application and be patient with the process. Check out their website and their Facebook page to see how Simply Incredible this organization truly is!

We went to Simply Cats since we wanted two bonded cats to join our family. We ended up with the two most loving ❤️ cats anyone could possibly ask for. We couldn't be happier with our choice.

We have had such a wonderful experience with the two kittens we adopted from Simply Cats in the summer of 2021. The kittens were very healthy and very well socialized and have grown up to be beautiful, sweet cats. I could tell they had been very well loved and cared for before we brought them home. I cannot recommend Simply Cats enough!

Virginia Raymond | Sep 22, 2019

How does a cat lover volunteer or get a job with you?

Michael Townsend | Sep 22, 2019
Heidi Cisney | Sep 22, 2019

Call them, to volunteer (which can include fostering, going to the shelter to help socialize cats, cleaning rooms, etc) you do need to go to training. They do also have some jobs listed on their website.

Is visitation allowed for people who cannot adopt?

Ashton Carlson | Sep 22, 2018
Sara Terrell | Sep 22, 2018

Yes! I recently took my 6 year old there to love on the meows! I called ahead and they are totally cool with that. They just ask you move to a different room if there is a family looking to adopt in the room you are in. Go love some kitties!

Not sure. Probably

They say they are a no-kill shelter/rescue but I beg to differ on that issue!!! If you have questions read the intake form before you talk to anyone at that shelter/rescue and try answering the questions honestly it will floor you as it did my …

Stepping in to say - that it's not a guarantee they do that. I volunteer there and I actively see FIV cats there. I think you are taking things out of proportion, the site genuinely is lovely and everyone is very sweet, they take the health of each animal very seriously and do what they can for each cat.

Will you take cats from Twin Falls?

Karla Berg | Sep 21, 2020
Simply Cats | Sep 21, 2020

Yes, please complete this intake request form: https://simplycats.org/forms/view.php?id=6220

Amber Van Gerpen | Sep 22, 2019
John Nelson | Sep 22, 2019

No, we help reduce a feral population.

Are any of the cats hypoallergenic?

Korey Whitehead | Sep 22, 2019
Tyler K Fisher | Sep 22, 2019

This is cat adoption center similar to the humane society. They don't stock different cat varieties or characteristics. They have new cats arriving as soon as others are adopted. Go check it out. If they have a hypoallergenic cat today they probably won't tomorrow.

The Humane Society and West Valley have live traps. They also offer spaying at reduced costs, especially for feral cats.

We just caught a feral kitten. Can you accept it?

Marvin Wilson | Sep 22, 2018

SimplyCats has a process for accepting cats to ensure they are adoptable in a short period of time. They may ask you to take the kitten to the Humane Society. But give them a call to be sure.
