Adoption Procedures
Adoption Procedures
There is a $60 NON-REFUNDABLE FEE for all animals which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered there is a $35 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT upon proof of surgery. An adoption application must be filled out at the Shelter by the person wishing to adopt the animal. Once the application has been reviewed and approved the potential adopter may visit and meet any of the animals. All cats must leave the Shelter in a cat carrier. Please bring a cat carrier.
If a cat is at Petco, it will state it in the description. All other cats are available at the Shelter. You can visit our cats and kittens at Petco anytime during their regular store hours. Adoption applications are available at Petco for the cats residing at Petco. The store is located in the Target Plaza on Veteran's Memorial Highway in the Town of Batavia.
Cats available for adoption
Reuben is an adult neutered male Tiger DSH. Reuben is happy to be off the streets. He is a nice cat who is a little reserved. He enjoys attention, pets and treats!
Henry is an adult neutered male Orange and White DSH. Henry came in a stray and wasn’t too sure of the new digs at first. He was very talkative - letting us know his concerns. But he has settled in nicely - enjoying good food and a soft bed. He enjoys time with the volunteers and not having to fight off others.
Adopted! Gucci is a 3 year old spayed female Diluted Torbie DSH. Gucci is a turn in who has a little cattitude! She needs a human that understands cats and lets them be cats. Gucci is not a fan of dogs and so far in the shelter not so interested in other cats. We think she wants to be your one and only!
Jess is a 3-4 year old spayed female Tiger DSH. She came in as stray but has a spay tattoo mark. She also came in with an abscess at the base of her tail. She was being attacked by other cats in the area. The wound was cleaned up and she was started on antibiotics. She is doing great now and is ready for a safe and secure home. Jess is very sweet and has been great to handle with all her vet care.
Adopted! Rita is an adult spayed female Tabby and White DSH (with green eyes). Melanie is an adult spayed female Tiger and White DSH (with gold eyes). They came in with a batch of kittens. The kittens were old enough to go to foster without mom. Melanie is a pretty comfortable kitty - she has adjusted to shelter life pretty quickly. Rita is a little more timid and nervous about shelter life but she is coming around. They are said to be good with dogs, cats and children. The two are very bonded and we would love to see them go together.
Gidget is an adult female Tiger DSH. She will be spayed prior to adoption. Gidget is a beautiful Tiger that was found wandering the streets. Someone watched over her until we had space to take her in. She is a sweet and talkative girl. Gidget will be spayed prior to adoption.

Working Cats
Periodically we get cats into the Shelter that are just not cut out for living in a home. They are happiest living outdoors. Some may be fearful of humans or have behavioral issues that make it impossible to live indoors. Regardless of the issue these cats, when given the right “home,” can live happy and productive lives. If you have a barn, stable, workshop, or warehouse you can save a life while receiving companionship and potentially expert, environmentally-friendly rodent control!
If you are interested in talking with a volunteer about adopting a working cat, please email us at info@vol4animals.org and include a phone number that we can reach you at.
Adopted! Bubbles and Honey are in need of a cushy barn home. They are tested, up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered. They are very friendly cats who refuse to use litter boxes. They have been examined by a vet to rule out medical issues as well as multiple attempts with changes in the environment to try and address the problem.
We ask that they have good shelter, food, water and some human companionship. It is also necessary to confine them for a couple of weeks to acclimate them to their new surroundings. If you can give these kitties a nice home, please stop in the Shelter during adoption hours or email us at info@vol4animals.org
There is no fee for their adoptions.
