Additional adoption info
You can fill out an application to adopt either online or at one of our adoption events. There is no obligation for submitting an application. If you are approved and decide to adopt a cat, we request a $90.00 adoption donation fee to help defray the veterinary expenses. If you are interested in seeing a specific cat, please feel free to contact us so we can schedule a meeting or stop by our shelter on a Saturday from 11-2.
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, then we require the name and number of a personal reference that does not live with you. Our philosophy is to create the "Purrfect Match" everytime. This will ensure that you and your new companion will be happy for the rest of your lives. Please remember that cats are living longer and can live well into their 20"s. Adopting a cat is a commitment for life.
The $90.00 adoption donation includes the following: FeLV/FIV Testing - a $30 value
Spaying or Neutering for all cats and kittens - a $90 - $200
All Distemper and Rabies Vaccinations - a $75 value
♦ Deworming - a $15 value
♦ Flea Treatment and Ear mite Treatment as needed - a $25 value
This adoption fee helps defray the cost of our veterinary expenses. Many of our cats may require
non-routine work such as dentals, or specific surgeries to prepare them for adoption. We appreciate any additional donations we receive beyond the adoption fee. Your continued support helps us care for many more cats and kittens.
All adopters are required to sign a legal binding adoption agreement at the time of adoption. If for some reason you can't keep your adopted cat, IBK does require the cat be returned to the organization. We also have a strict no-declaw policy. Declawing is considered an painful amputation of the cat's toes and can result in behavioral issues. Please consider adopting a previously declawed cat instead.
Please allow our volunteers 48 hours to process your application. If you apply online, please check your email as we will respond to you via email.
