Virtu-Adoption

We’ve added more cats to our Virtu-Adopton program.  The Virtu-Adoption program lets you monetarily support a cat in our shelter that has a smaller chance of getting adopted than most of our other residents.  This is sometimes because of age, medical issues or because of tempermant.  For these kitties, it’s very possible that our shelter will be their homes for the rest of their lives.  Please visit our Virtu-Adoption section today and help provide a safe secure home for them at our shelter.  With your subscription, you’ll receive montly updates from your kitty on how they’re doing and general shelter news.  A Virtu-adoption is a perfect gift for someone that has everything, for a person that already has a house full of cats but wants to support our shelter, or for the person that wants a cat but for whatever reason can’t have one. 

New Volunteer Orientation Dates!

The Cattery New Volunteer Orientation will now be held on the second Saturday of each month.  The times are still the same - 10:30am for youth orientation and 11:30am for adult orientation.  You must fill out and turn in a volunteer application (under the volunteer section) before attending an orientation.  Please call and let us know you want to attend orientation, as space is limited.  Thanks!
