Adoption Fees - Why Animal Rescues & Shelters Charge Have Them
Adoption Fees Are Not About Profit
Adoption fees are an essential part of how animal rescues and shelters operate. These fees help cover the costs of veterinary care, spaying and neutering, vaccinations, food, and the daily care of the animals in their programs.
Every cat and dog that comes through their doors receives the medical attention and support they need to stay healthy and ready for their forever home.
Charging an adoption fee also helps ensure that adopters are serious and committed to providing a loving, responsible home. It’s not about making a profit - it’s about sustaining the ongoing rescue efforts and providing care for other animals in need.
Every adoption contributes directly to giving more cats and dogs a chance at a safe, happy life.

Veterinary Costs Often Exceed Adoption Fees.
Adoption fees cover only a small portion of the medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neuter costs for each cat in our care. Many of our cats require additional treatments, ongoing care, and specialized attention to stay healthy and happy.
Your donation today helps us provide these vital services, giving sick and vulnerable cats the care they need to thrive and find their forever homes.
