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 listed as "in foster" where they are living in a private Ark 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.
Meet the amazing miss maple!
Miss Maple is a beautiful silky black 1 year old female Bombay kitty who was rescued from the streets with a badly broken back leg. The vet diagnosed the leg as too badly injured to save so this sweet girl had to have her leg amputated! She has now fully recovered and in spite of all that she has been through, she is the sweetest, loving kitty who also gets along with other cats. Maple has no problems walking, running, jumping or playing and is now available to adopt! Be sure to watch her special YouTube video here.
