Are the pets spayed and neutered?

All of our cats and dogs are sterilized (spayed/neutered) if age allows; however, if the pet is adopted at an age that we do not feel comfortable altering, we will send them home with a certificate for their alteration that the new owner can redeem at any participating vet.

What is your policy on euthanasia?

We never euthanize a healthy pet. We only euthanize when all other options have been exhausted and we truly believe that the pet's quality of life is being compromised by keeping them alive.

How does your organization help the community?

We try to reduce the amount of unwanted pets by spaying and neutering. We utilize local vets and sponsor the occasional clinic to help with the altering. When we are hosting a spay and neuter clinic, it will be posted on our website. We also perform trap, neuter, and release programs to alter local feral cats.

Are the adoptable pets healthy?

All adoptable pets are examined by a licensed veterinarian. Every-thing will be done that is necessary to ensure that our pets are healthy and ready for their forever homes. Cats are all FIV/Feline Leukemia tested and all are negative (unless otherwise stated). All dogs are heartworm tested and are on heartworm preventative. All pets are current on vaccinations and are altered-age allowing.

How does the adoption process work?

It all starts with an application. Submit your application at either Easton PetSmart or on our website. Within 3 business days you will hear from one of our volunteers, either via email or phone. If you meet the initial criteria, the volunteer reviewing your application may ask for an interview over the phone or in person. After that we may ask for a home visit for some cats and we require them for all of our dog placements. Please be patient during this process, all of our volunteers have other responsibilities that they have to work around just like you.
