Application & Fees
To ensure all of our cats get the best, safest home, the application process may take from 1 to 2 days. We do not do same day adoptions. We know, a day can feel like forever when you are waiting for the newest addition to your family, but cats can live 15 years to slightly over 20 years, we require you to take that day to make sure its the best decision for everyone involved. To adopt a cat from Cats Exclusive, you must be at least 18 years of age and provide some form of identification (license or state ID). If you are 60 years of age or older and wish to adopt a kitten, you must have a co-applicant under 60 years old fill out an additional application form with the understanding that if you should no longer be able to care for the kitten, they would adopt the kitten from you. This age qualification does not apply if you wish to adopt an adult cat.
$100.00 - Kittens under 9 months
$75.00 - Cats 9 months and older
Fees vary for special breeds
All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, have tested negative for FIV/Leukemia, and are kept up to date on their vaccines.* You also get a bag of Science Diet, which is the food they are primarily eating. If you want to switch them to another food, you can mix the new food and the old food to lessen irritation to the digestive system as they get used to the new food.
When they go home, all their nails are trimmed. Please ask for a demonstration if you are not familiar with trimming nails and we will be happy to show you. If you are considering de-clawing, please understand it is an amputation that not only removes the claws, but the digit up to the first joint. We do offer Soft Paws as an alternative for $20 for our adoption kitties.
*Some kittens may not be old enough to recieve all of their vaccines; once they leave the center, those vaccines are your responsibility.

Incoming Cats
(Through appointment only; please call first)
$100 per cat
$50 per kitten with/without mother
We are a no-kill facility, when space runs out, it runs out. We do not put down cats we have to make space for new cats and we will not take in more than is healthy for our population. Space must be open for cats to be accepted into the Adoption Center.
We use a waiting list to track cats, but this often can take months or years.
Please consider contacting other no-kill facilities in the area or use Petfinder.com to list the cat yourself to ensure the most efficient placement of the cat. If you do place the kitten yourself, we always recommend they be spay/neutered first, so that you are not adding to the population problem, and that you ask for a donation of at least $50. Unfortunately there are people that will take free cats for not so noble reasons, including dog fight training, snake food, profit when sold to researchers, etc.
I FOUND A BABY KITTEN! NOW WHAT?
If you found a bottle-feed kitten,
please click HERE to see how to take care of it.
If you cannot keep the kitten, the above will help you keep him/her/them alive until you can find a suitable spot. Keep the kitten(s) as warm as possible during the situation.
We CANNOT foster bottle-feed kittens at this moment. Please try other, local no-kill rescues, and tell them you need a "lactating mother" or "bottle-feed foster."
