The Cat Adoption Team is dedicated to providing each cat who comes to our shelter the best possible care and chances for a new family.
A cat who comes to CAT with no real medical issues may spend up to 25 days at the shelter prior to adoption. Some may be here only for a day or two, others a little longer than the average.
If a cat comes to the shelter with an injury or treatable condition, the Hospital staff will provide appropriate care before that cat is placed into the shelter for adoption. This increases the average time before adoption to 34 days.
CAT has over 88 volunteer foster families who care for newborns, pregnant cats, and recuperating cats until they are ready to be placed up for adoption. In addition, foster families will shelter and care for animals when the shelter is full or if an individual animal needs a break from the stress of staying in the shelter and the other cats. Our foster families directly saved the lives of over 768 animals in 2011 alone.
CAT is an adoption guarantee shelter that saves the lives all the healthy and treatable animals in our care.
