Where are you located?

At this time we are all foster based and do not have a shelter building.  We often have adoptable cats in the Adoption Center at Petsmart in Duluth. Additionally, we strive to have Adoption Events throughout the County multiple times a month. Watch our Facebook page for updates!  

What is the adoption process?

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application. Your application will be reviewed by our adoption team, and you should hear a response within 24-72 hours. We do check vet references to ensure your current pets are altered and up-to-date on their rabies and distemper vaccinations. Once your application is approved, you will be connected with the pet’s foster family to set up a meet-and-greet. If all goes well, you will be sent adoption paperwork and payment options prior to picking up your new companion!

All dogs over 6 months will be fully vaccinated and altered prior to adoption.

What does a spay/neuter contract entail?

Cost of spay and neuter is INCLUDED in the adoption fee. CCAR will schedule the spay/neuter appointment, but transportation to and from the appointment is the responsibility of the adopter.

Should the adopter decide to schedule spay/neuter at their own vet clinic, the adopter will cover the cost. Proof of completion of alter is required for the return of the $100 deposit.
