Adopt-a-Cat
If you want to adopt a cat, there are many different things to think about. Can you afford to take care of a cat? Will you be responsible and be able to take care of a cat for its whole life, which is usually 10-14 years, but can be longer? If you think that you are ready to have a cat, explore the different cats we have and come down to the shelter during our adoption hours to meet your new furry friend.

Kingdom Animal Shelter is not a "same day" adoption shelter. To adopt from Kingdom Animal Shelter:
Complete an adoption application and authorization for release of information form and bring them to the Shelter, email them to adoptions@kingdomanimalshelter.com or mail them to P.O. Box 462, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819. The application and release of information forms are available below or you can pick them up from the shelter during adoption hours.
An adoption counselor will review your application, contact 1-2 personal references and contact your veterinarian for a reference. Additionally, if you are a renter, we will contact your landlord for permission to have an animal in the household.
Please allow at least 3 business days for the process to be completed.
After the review is complete, the adoption counselor will contact you, generally by email or by phone.
You will be notified if your application is approved or declined.
If the application is approved, you will work with the adoption counselor to work out a mutually agreed upon time and date for you to take your cat home.

We occasionally have cats who are not suitable as house cats and are therefore available as barn cats. If you have interest in a barn cat, you can learn more about and apply for our barn cat program here:
