On any given day the Animal Care Clinic Cat Adoption Program shelters any number of cats and kittens. Many of them are immediately adoptable. Others are awaiting wellness services or medical treatment prior to adoption. Many are stray cats and kittens that have been brought to us by members of the community. Some are pets that have been relinquished into the program for various reasons. All of them are looking for their forever homes.

Our Seniors………..
Baby and Oscar
Baby and Oscar: Baby and Oscar came together from a home where their owner became ill and could no longer care for them. We would love for them to be re-homed together. They are both fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. FeLV/FIV negative.
Oscar is a black cat, born on 7/18/04. He is very friendly and loves to be held. He’s a bumper! He recently had his teeth cleaned and several teeth were removed – teeth that were causing him pain on eating. He’s doing great now! He’s a very mellow guy, and nothing much seems to bother him.
Baby is a calico, born on 8/25/01. She is still adjusting to her new environment away from her former life and she is very shy and scared. But she is getting to know and trust us as we are getting to know her.
Our Kittens…….
None currently available.
Our Adults & Teenagers…..
Two cats currently under observation.
ACC Cat Adoption Policy
Indoor Only Homes: Animal Care Clinic strives to adopt to indoors-only homes. This is because cats live longer, safer lives when they are kept indoors. There are specific cases when a particular cat may be adopted out to an indoor/outdoor home or into a situation as a barn cat. Typically these cases are due to behavior issues that have been found to have no known physical cause.
Declawing: Animal Care Clinic does not adopt out cats to known situations where the new owner plans to declaw. There are a number of humane alternatives to declawing that the ACC staff would be more than happy to discuss with a potential owner. We do receive cats into the program that have previously been declawed. Potential owners looking for a declawed cat may choose to be put on a waiting list to be informed when these declawed cats are available for adoption.
FIV+ Cats: Animal Care Clinic occasionally receives cats that test positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). We have found that these special cats can live relatively long lives in caring homes as long as they live all indoors in a stress-free environment. For this reason, and because there is a risk of transmitting this disease to other cats, FIV+ cats will only be adopted out to indoors-only home situations where they will be the only cat in the household.
All adoptions stay until they have been spay or neutered. Kittens are spayed or neutered when they reach 2.5lbs or more.
