If you are interested in adopting a pet you saw listed on our adoptable pets list, please send an introductory email to backyard_friends@yahoo.com

All of our adoptive parents will be screened to make sure we find the very best homes for our felines. An adoption agreement must be signed. The adoption fee for a kitten is $80.00 which includes, screening for Leukemia if their mother has not been screened for Leukemia & FIV, deworming, Revolution or Advantage if needed and 1st set of vaccines. The adoption fee for an adult cat is $125.00 which includes screening for Leukemia & FIV, Revolution for fleas, earmites and parasites, spaying/neutering and vaccinations.

We encourage all of our adoptive families to consider adopting a mother cat we have in our care.  These cats are often overlooked because of the irresistably cute faces of kittens and they are usually in our care for many weeks after their babies leave. Most of the moms are very young themselves often being only about a year old.  There are many benefits to adopting one of our mothers:

• Their personalities have already been established
• They are still playful like kittens
• They are already spayed
• They have very good house manners and use their scratching posts
• Many times they are better behaved with children
• The mothers are very appreciative of a forever home because most times they have not had the best start to life
• They will fit into a busy household better than a kitten
• Kittens are kittens only for so long, in 7 or 8 months they will be the same size as the mothers
