You must be 18 years or older, must agree to take photos/video of the trip that we can use, must stick to the scheduled time, must inform us of your destination beforehand. Click here for more info.

Adoption fee for a cat is $65. Fee includes a voucher for spay/neuter rabies. We accept all forms of payment.
For animals that have not been spayed or neutered: adoptions are open to residents of Tazewell, Buchanan, Russell, Bland and Smyth County. If an animal is already spayed or neutered then it is available to be adopted by anyone (even out of state residents E.g. Mercer County WV). Phone to check that the cat is available and what paperwork is required from you.
Make sure that you are able to take your cat home on the day you adopt it. We will not keep a cat for you after its "available" day.
