This 1930's house in Shelton has been converted solely for feline adoptions   


Adopting From the
"Cathouse On the Hill"
It is probably not a good idea to raise dozens and dozens of newly-rescued kitties in one place if you have a choice.

The resources required to do the job are greater, and even the best shelters using the strictest medical protocols have deadly epidemics.
 
At Kitten Rescue, we use a network of volunteer foster homes to spread out the risk and the work.  Most of the kitties in our adoption rooms have been living offsite in our system for some time, only coming on the premises for evaluation and treatment.  When we finally confirm that a kitty is viable and the space is available, we then bring it in to bunk in the adoption rooms for final care and the placement process.

Kitties in our newspaper ads or on this website may or may not actually be living in the Cathouse On the Hill at the instant you see their listing:  It all depends on personnel, room at the inn, medical conditions, and the litter of dying kittens found on the highway three hours ago. To save as many critters as we do, we have to be flexible and adapt to changing situations that are often beyond our control.

We adopt to qualified homes on a first-come-first-served basis.

The first step is telling us you want the kitten and pledge to adopt it when it is ready.  If nobody has made a claim before you, the kitty is now "pre-adopted" to you.  If it is already pre-adopted, you may commit to adopt in case the person ahead of you in line doesn't follow through as promised.

If your kitty is still in a foster home when you pre-adopt, we will tell you when it is transferred to one of our adoption rooms and then arrange an appointment for you to meet.

After your kitty finishes two sets of shots, receives treatment for worms, earmites, and fleas, and is altered, we will let you know when you can pick it up.

The fee is $65 before you leave.
