Why should you adopt from a shelter? 

By adopting an animal from the shelter, you are making an important contribution to our organization to continue to care for our animals at the shelter. You are as well doing a good deed, more than which you would have done by adopting your pet from a pet store. You will also have the satisfaction of providing a loving environment for an abandoned animal and be giving them a second chance. 

By giving an animal a second chance at life, you can feel tremendous gratitude in seeing your new pet happy. 

Many individuals prefer to adopt kittens rather than grown-up cats. However, there are certain inconveniences that come with adopting kittens such as rummaging in your plants, chewing on electrical cords etc. The adoption of grown up cats does avoid situations such as these. 

ADOPTION FEES

 Adopting a pet from a shelter is a more affordable choice than adopting one from a pet store.

However, that being said, cost efficiency should never be the main reason to adopt a pet. Costs for your pet’s everyday life such as food, veterinary visits, care, grooming, etc. must be kept in mind during your adoption decision. 

Our adoption fees are $290 for adult cats (between 1 and 10 years old) and $340 for kittens (less than 12 months old). Adoption fees for senior cats 10 years old to 15 years old are $175, senior cats 15 years old and more $100 and for pure-breeds the fees are $400-800$. This includes two standard vaccines (PRC), deworming, flee treatment, sterilization, microchip, assistance and health insurance for the first 6 weeks following adoption. We are also the only shelter in the Montreal area to provide dental care to our cats who need it urgently. We also offer 1 month of free phone consultation post-adoption with our partner cat behaviour consultant FelineGood.

You can submit an adoption request for one of our cats by completing the adoption form.
