Yes, there is an adoption fee for all the animals however they do have events throughout the year where adoption fees are waived and or greatly reduced. They also have elder animals at a reduced fee. FYI the elder animals are purrrfectly healthy unless they have diabetes or something specific which is always noted on their cage card. Elder doesn't always mean 20yrs old either they are typically over age 5 and I have to say from personal experience here they are some of the sweetest loving and gentle ever.

Yes. For any animal adopted from the shelter, there is a tax deductible adoption fee/charitable donation. All proceeds go back into the operation of the shelter.
