Adoption Fees

2-for-1 Adoptions for ALL Animals

If adopting animals with different adoption fees, the highest adoption fee would be applied. For example, if adopting a puppy and an adult dog, the adoption fee would be a total of $200.

Prior to adoption, all animals have been vaccinated and treated for internal and external parasites. Cats have been tested for FeLV/FIV and dogs are tested for Heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichia.

Animals 7 months and older are spayed or neutered unless our veterinarian has indicated the procedure should be delayed because the animal is being treated for a health condition. We feel it is beneficial to delay spaying/neutering to 6 months of age for developmental reasons. Adopter will be required to spay/neuter kittens and puppies who have been adopted prior to six months of age.

Puppy adopters: eligible to receive a $50 refund of the adoption fee when the spay or neuter procedure has been completed. In order to receive the refund, adopter must have the procedure completed on or before the date designated in their Adoption Agreement. Refund will be mailed once CFC receives the “Written Statement of Sterilization by Licensed Veterinarian” provided at the time of adoption. CFC is vigilant in following up with adopters to confirm the spay/neuter procedure has been completed on a timely basis.

Kitten adopters: we offer neutering on-site for male kittens at 5-6 months of age during our vet’s monthly sanctuary visit. Adopter must be available to bring their kitten to the sanctuary during our vet’s monthly visit. For female spays, the adopter has 2 options: bring the kitten back to us to send to our vet for the procedure or we can provide a $50 after receiving proof that the procedure has been completed by the adopter’s vet.

Dogs go home with a collar that has a CFC tag attached and if they use a special walking harness, CFC will send the harness with them. CFC also sends along a small supply of the food the animal is used to eating as well as a copy of the full medical record for adopter’s files and veterinarian.

If, at any time, an adopter is no longer able to care for an animal they have adopted from the sanctuary, CFC’s Adoption Agreement requires the animal be returned to the sanctuary. CFC will arrange to have the animal returned, if needed, at any time during the animal’s life. This is our commitment to each animal who comes to us. The adoption fee becomes non-refundable after the first two weeks of adoption.

On occasion, Caring For Creatures will offer special adoption campaigns and fees. Please check with us or visit our website newsfeed for any current campaigns.

While awaiting adoption, the animals live their lives in spacious living quarters and enjoy the companionship of other animals, volunteers, and dedicated staff. We choose not to euthanize healthy animals to create additional space.
