Cat Adoption Program
The PETS WEST cat/kitten adoption program is designed to help various local shelters adopt out the many unwanted cats and kittens brought to them each year, and try to prevent turning away any cat in need of a good home.
The PETS WEST adoption program started in 1996, and this year (2008) will mark over 1800 adoptions
We have been proud to help local rescue groups such as:
- SPCA
- Cats Rescue Corps
- Cat's Cradle
- CRD Pound
- Dees Orphan Fund
- Nana Foundation
- Vocal
- Plus various other groups
Are you looking for a certain breed of kitty? PETS WEST always takes requests for that certain pet that you're looking for to complete your family.
The PETS WEST adoption program is operated as a non-profit community service.
The fees that are charged reflect veterinary services and cover some additional costs.
All cats are examined by a veterinarian before adoption.
Cats are then kept and monitored at PETS WEST for up to one week. This is a time period in which most diseases or existing problems will become obvious. PETS WEST treats all diagnosed health problems before cats are placed in their adoptive homes, unless these problems are deemed terminal or not reasonably treatable.
Although every precaution is taken to ensure that only healthy cats leave Pets West, due to the lack of prior history of the cats which are up for adoption, some problems may remain undiagnosed until the cat is in its new adoptive home. Pets West offers a 1 week health guarantee on the cats/kittens leaving our store. If a problem does arise, we ask the new owner to call us immediately and we will either provide advice or arrange a veterinarian appointment, in which PETS WEST can cover up to $50 of the medical costs.
PETS WEST reserves the right to refuse adoption, and reminds potential adopters that cats can live up to 20 years; adoptions are intended to be a commitment for the entire life of the pet.
Pets West would like to thank Wellness Pet Foods for their donation of food for the PETS WEST ADOPTION PROGRAM!
