Adoption Questions
If you are interested in seeing a specific cat, please email us at ittybittykittypa@gmail.com so we can schedule a meeting at our shelter or with the appropriate foster home. Most of our cats are at our shelter in Lower Macungie Township but we do have a few in foster care.
Please allow our volunteers 2-3 days to process your application. If you apply online, please check your email as we will respond to you via email. If you do not hear back from us within 24 hours please call or email us as we may not have received your application.
Applicants must supply the name and number of their veterinarian. We will call the veterinarian to verify that your current or former pet is receiving the medical care he or she needs. If you do not have any pets, we require the name and number of personal references that do not live with you.
If you are approved and decide to adopt one of our cats or kittens, we request an adoption donation fee to help cover the cost of the shelter's veterinary expenses. Our requested adoption fee is $100.00 per cat.
The adoption donation fee includes the following:
FeLV/FIV/Heartworm Testing – a $40 value
Spaying or Neutering for all cats and kittens – a $90 – $200 value
All Distemper and Rabies Vaccinations – a $60 value
Deworming – a $20 value
Flea Treatment and Ear mite Treatment as needed – a $25 value
Microchip and Lifetime Registration of microchip – a $75 value
It is our rule and recommendation that kittens under a year old must go in pairs, or to a home with another young cat, under the age of 4 years old. No exceptions.
For more information on why it is important to adopt kittens in pairs, you can check out the "Why Two Kittens Are Better Than One" blog post by Hannah Shaw, the Kitten Lady!
