The volunteers are absolutely amazing. We now have two adopted rescue cats from POA that are so wonderful, 7 year old Tippy and 3 month old Caprice. We will be getting one more sweet cat in a few weeks after she has completed some dental work. Can't wait to welcome home sweet Bonnie. 💕

John Mopar | Sep 23, 2019

Usually not, you provide your name and wait to be called into the cat area, usually they have your name with the adoption form. You can explain your situation but they do have procedures they follow. It is true about getting in line early if you are serious about getting a kitten.

Kelsey McMahon/Richens | Sep 23, 2018

The Cat, Mr. Fluffer Nutter, is a 6 yr. Old stray that I have fed and taken into my home every winter for the past 5 yrs.. Fluffy desperately needs to be trapped as he is bleeding from his LEFT EAR, (Looks like someone in the neighborhood kicked him or he might have gotten into a fight with a wild animal, I dont know for sure???), It breaks my heart that he is hurt and bleeding really bad out of his ear and he will no longer trust me enough to come near me any longer. That's why I think someone hurt him on purpose! I am on S.S. Disability and I have no way to come get the Trap as I do not have a car that is Reg. Or Ins. Is there anyway that someone can bring me a Trap and then come get him and care for him after he is trapped?
