Frequently Asked Questions

---

We provide our rescue services to Burgettstown, PA and surrounding areas. We are foster-based, so we do not have a facility open to the public. Our animals and foster homes are currently located in Burgettstown, Canonsburg, Houston, Oakdale, and Slippery Rock, PA.

Unless specified otherwise, our adoption fees are as follows: Kittens under 6 mos - $100. Kittens over 6 mos & Adults - $50. Seniors - $25. Any cats that have fully sponsored, waived, or further reduced adoption fees, are listed as such on our website. 

Firstly, an approved adoption application must be submitted at https://kittyco.org/adoption-application to adopt one of our kitties. If approved, we will reach out to schedule a meet and greet with you. If kitty and potential adopter are compatible, we will then send you an adoption checklist that is customized to the kitty you're interested in, so you can easily prepare to bring them home. Lastly, you sign an adoption contract and pickup your new fur baby!

Yes, we do offer same-day adoptions to approved applicants! In order to bring a kitty home the same day as the meet and greet, you must have submitted an approved adoption application and have completed the "To-Do" section on the top of the adoption checklist the Adoption Coordinator sent to you. We have the right to refuse an adoption the day of the meet and greet if the Foster Volunteer does not feel the kitty and adopter are compatible, or within other reasoning. 

At this time, we do not have a facility opened to the public to meet our kitties. We are foster-based, which means all of our cats and kittens reside in foster homes rather than in kennels in a shelter facility. This allows a more personable relationship with our kitties and for fosters to be able to focus on 1 or 2 individual kitties’ care and needs at a time. If you'd like to schedule a day/time to meet our available cats and kittens, please note an approved adoption application is required first. You can submit an application for the kitty(ies) of your interest on our website.

We currently do not offer TNR services to the public; however, if you kindly PM us, we can provide you with trapping tips and resources near you!

If your pet or an animal you found has a true medical emergency, please drive the animal to your nearest veterinarian. Do not wait for a rescue or shelter to get back to you. If finances are an issue, please consider CareCredit, Scratch-pay, creating a GoFundMe, posting in local pet and community Facebook groups, and/or asking family and friends for assistance. The animal's life always matters and their medical emergency should never wait.

As of January 1st, 2024, we do not offer our resources to owner surrenders. We do highly encourage you to weigh all options possible (training and vet care included) to be able to keep your pet. If you absolutely cannot keep your pet and have exhausted all other options, please consider reaching out to your family and friends first, and then to other local rescues, humane societies, and shelters. Please be aware that most animal organizations are closed on surrender intakes at this time due to over capacity, and may not be able to take in your pet right away. Surrendering a healthy pet to a rescue or shelter should always be your very last option. If you must surrender your owned pet, please privately message or email us with your location for a list of rescues local to you that may be able to offer you assistance.

Unless a kitten needs urgent medical attention for an illness or injury or is in true danger, DO NOT TOUCH THEM until you have waited atleast 24 hours for their Mom to return! Mother cats care for their kittens better than a vet can, and better than any rescuer or person can. The Mom is always a newborn or young kitten's best chance of survival. If the Mom has not returned for her kittens within 24 hours, please reach out to a local rescue, shelter, or humane society first. If the kittens need bottlefed, they will need an experienced bottle feeder or someone willing to learn fast and is committed to their 'round the clock care (newborn kittens need fed every 1-2 hours.... yes, even through the night!). Please note, we are closed on intakes at this time.
