WHEN YOU ADOPT FROM THE KINGDOM ANIMAL SHELTER,
YOU SHOULD KNOW…
Our mission statement is: To facilitate the placement of rescued, abandoned, abused or neglected animals in safe, life-long homes. We respect the inherent value of every animal in our care and we strive to prevent overpopulation and cruelty to animals.
Travel Restriction: Typically, Kingdom Animal Shelter adopts cats out to people who reside within a 3 hour distance of the shelter. This is to ensure reasonable travel times for the cat and the adopters.
During the application process the adoption counselor will:
-contact your landlord if you are a renter
-contact your veterinarian for a reference on veterinary care of current and past animals (the adoption counselor is looking to ensure that all current and past animals have been kept up to date with vaccinations and annual wellness checks)
-contact 1 or 2 personal references
-If your application looks like it will be a good fit, the adoption counselor will arrange to meet you and your family, existing pets, etc. This will also give you the opportunity to meet any cats you are interested in as well as meet your family members (including animals in your home). (Due to the pandemic, we are currently using Zoom for meetings. When we feel it is safe to do home visits again, we will review our policies and may offer adopters a choice of a home visit or a Zoom visit.)
During the review of the adoption application, you will be asked to agree to:
-keep cats as indoor only,
-never declaw your cats,
-take the cat to the vet on a yearly basis (or more) for wellness exams (maintain twice yearly wellness checks if your cat is FIV+),
-and keep the cat up to date on vaccinations recommended by the veterinarian.
The average cost for owning a cat is approximately $700.00 per year, excluding emergencies.

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