Per the calendar, June is Adopt-a-Cat-Month. This is very appropriate as kitten season is now in full swing, and we have dozens of beautiful ones in foster right now and more coming in each day.

Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the Catalyst Council states, “Having a dedicated month encouraging the adoption of cats is a really great way to help remind people that their local shelters and rescues have lots of friendly, loving cats from which to choose. From cute and active kittens to mellow and mature seniors, there are all different kinds of cats at your local shelter. The great thing about going to a shelter or a rescue group is that the staff has likely become acquainted with the cats staying there and can guide you to one whose personality will fit in with your family.”

All of our kittens are fostered in private homes so we do not have a central location where you can come and “shop.” We can and do adopt out directly from foster homes, but by appointment only. We also have an adoption cages at the San Roque Pet Hospital in Santa Barbara and Noah’s Ark Animal Hospital in Goleta.

At adoption, all kittens will have been spayed or neutered, tested for FIV and FeLV, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas. For the nominal adoption fee of $65 ($110 for a pair), it’s a great bargain. We also sometimes have friendly moms that need homes after they have weaned their kittens. We even have feral or semi-feral mousers for your barns at no cost to you, other than shelter and regular sustenance to keep them around.

With so many kittens in the queue, there must be the perfect one (or preferably two) that will be exactly what you are looking for. We have photos of litters that will be available soon on our Facebook page, so if you are in the market to adopt, please give us a call today to put your order in for your favorites.
