The Hermitage’s Eminently Adoptable Cats
The shelter has many beautiful, healthy cats who are readily adoptable and need loving homes. You can feel good knowing that adopting a cat from The Hermitage is a rewarding way to save the lives of two cats! Not only are your directly giving the cat you are adopting a home for the rest of his/her life, you also open up a space at the shelter for another needy waif.
Special needs cats are adopted by special people
In addition to our eminently adoptable cats and kittens, our FIV+ and feline leukemia cats are looking for homes too! They just need to be the only cat in the home or go to a home where the other cats also have the same condition.
There are many lovely cats in the SO area (urinary tract problems) who crave attention; these cats just require a special diet to maintain their health and prevent urinary crystals.
We also have special needs cats who have a lot of love to give, but require someone with extra patience. There are senior cats looking for quiet, stable homes and black cats who are usually overlooked by potential adopters.
How does the Adoption Program work?
- Come to the shelter between 1 pm and 4 pm on Monday, Thursday or Friday; or 11 am to 4 pm on weekends (except New Year’s, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day).
- You will be given a guided tour, during which you are introduced to the cats.
- If you and one (or more) of our feline residents bond, you may complete an application for adoption.
- Upon approval you can take your lifetime friend(s) home!
