All of our cats and kittens have been seen by a local vet and received age appropriate shots, and been treated for any parasites (fleas, ear mites, worms). A copy of the medical record will go with the cat/kitten at the time of the adoption.
An adoption donation for adult cats and older kittens that have been spayed/neutered is a $100. Young kittens that have not yet spayed or neutered, the adoption donation is $60. Young kittens will also be entitled to a free vet exam and low cost spay/neuter.
Did you know that black cats have the lowest adoption rate and the highest euthanasia rate?
Why? We're not quite sure.
*Maybe it's the superstition factor.
*Some people say they can't see or make a connection with a black cat in a poorly lit kennel.
*And for folks browsing the Internet for pets, black cats don't always show up in photographs as well as their lighter colored brethren.
For whatever reason, black cats are statistically less likely to be adopted than more brightly colored felines.
Black cats are also most often ignored by many rescue groups because they are so hard to place. These cats are often left waiting in pounds and shelters with hopes of finding a loving home, only to be destroyed once their time is up. Volunteer Services for Animals East Providence Chapter does not discriminate based on color. It is true that our black cats often take longer to find homes – and that they take up much needed foster space during this time. But our philosophy is that Black Cats need Love and a Safe Home Too.
Top 4 reasons to adopt a black cat:
4. Black cats look like little panthers. Their regal breeding is very apparent.
3. Black is beautiful. There's the deep, auburn shaded black, the blue black, the black with tiny white highlights here and there, the sleek black, the fluffy black, the black with bunny-soft fur, the black with yellow eyes, the black with green eyes, the black with gray eyes...Well, you get the picture. Black is not just black; there are as many different kinds of black cats as there are cats!
2. Love knows no color! Your cat doesn't care what color YOUR hair is!
