cat adoption information
The Ark requires 3 things to adopt: an approved adoption application, a signed adoption contract and a paid adoption fee of $175 for cats 1-year-old and over and $210 for kittens under 1-year-old. At times, and for certain breeds, the adoption fee may vary. All cats are altered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption (young kittens may still be in the process of getting their shots and surgeries). FIV/FELV testing is only done if recommended by a vet partner. CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT FIV.
Ark cats and kittens listed below are either at The Cattery inside the San Juan Capistrano PetSmart, where they may be seen in person anytime the store is open, or they are temporarily living in a private Ark foster home and can be brought to an Ark Adoption event or arrangements can be made to meet them at their foster home. To meet a cat or kitten in foster care, please call The Ark's main phone number at (949) 388-0034 or send an email to info@arkofsanjuan.org, asking to schedule a "Meet & Greet" appointment with a particular cat or kitten.
We recommend that in advance of attending an adoption event, to save time, please apply online by clicking the button below. You will be contacted after your application is reviewed.
donations needed to treat these special kittens!
Additional Information
Three 5 week old kittens (Mason, Miles & Matilda) were rescued from being euthanized at the local county kill shelter because they have ringworm which is a totally treatable condition. The Ark took them into our medical rescue program with only minutes to spare! These sweet darlings will now get the medical treatment they need to become healthy in less than a month.
We ask that you please donate any amount to their veterinary costs, estimated at $500. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW (and click on blue DONATE NOW button, then choose "Urgent Medical Costs" from the drop down menu).
Thank you so much from our Ark Angels!
