FAQs Cats
Frequently Asked Questions
To adopt a cat, visit the Adoption Center open daily from 11 PM to 6 PM. The adoption process includes meeting adoptable cats, consulting with matchmakers to ensure a good fit, and completing the necessary paperwork.
Adoption fees vary based on the cat’s age:
- Kittens (less than 6 months): $80
- Adult Cats (6 months – 7 years): $30
- Senior Cats (over 7 years): $20
Discounts on adult pets are available for seniors, active military, veterans, and Nevada teachers.
The adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, a medical examination, and completed medical care.
Adoption applications are processed in person on a first-come, first-considered basis. A two-hour potential Adoption (PA) hold can be placed after meeting the pet if the interested adopter needs to get their pets and or children (excluding kittens).
Adopters must be at least 18 years old, complete an adoption application, and provide a photo ID with a current address.
Consider your lifestyle, expectations, and ability to meet the cat’s needs. Questions to ask yourself include:
- What is my motivation to adopt this cat?
- What are my expectations for my new companion?
- Is my home and lifestyle a good fit for this cat?
- How much time and effort can I set aside for a new pet?
- Am I prepared to take on any special needs the cat may have?
The SPCA of Northern Nevada offers post-adoption support through our help desk line, online resources, and sometimes through post-adoption behavioral consultations. Online resources include the Pet Behavior Help section and the Pet Education and Resources hub.
The SPCA of Northern Nevada makes a lifetime commitment to their animals and will always take them back, regardless of the circumstances. If you adopted your pet from the SPCA of Northern Nevada (SPCA-NN), you may return your pet to us during our normal hours of operation. To help us better understand your pet, please complete the appropriate Pet Surrender Profile Form (Dog or Cat) and bring it with you when you visit the Adoption Center.
