Adoption Fees:
- A$100 adoption fee is required for cats.
- A $150 adoption fee is required for kittens under 1yr. of
age.
- A $150 adoption fee is required for dogs under 50lbs
- A $175 adoption fee is required for dogs over 50lbs
- A $225 adoption fee is required for puppies or dogs with
special medical needs (including sighthounds because of the
anesthesia requirements)
All animals adopted from the MCSPCA are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
We accept cash and checks only, no credit cards. The fee includes the cost of spay/neuter,
initial vaccinations, heartworm testing (for
dogs), FeLV/FIV testing (for cats), deworming,
and general care of the animals during their
stay at the MCSPCA (food, litter, medication,
vet care, etc.)." |

An adoption application, vet check, and interview with a counselor
are required
to ensure that appropriate placements are made. A home visit may
also be required.
- ALL members of a household must be present for the adoption
process.
- If you rent your home, you must provide your landlord’s
name and phone number. Landlord consent is required prior to
adoption. To expedite this process, you can provide a copy of
your lease or a signed statement from your landlord specifying
the pet policy.
- We generally do not adopt kittens to families with young
children.
- The MCSPCA seeks the best possible homes for the animals in
our care, and we reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone.
