Humanimal Connection

Why would you pay for a kitten?

Humanimal Connection charges an adoption fee to cover the costs incurred for the kitten/cat you will be adopting. This adoption fee covers more than most rescue groups and at a greater discount than you could receive as an individual pet owner. We receive discounts because we are a non-profit organization that has teamed up with local vets to keep costs down for our adopting families.

Additionally...

Adopting a cat or kitten for "free" from a neighbor or friend means bringing a kitten into your home when you are not sure the kitten is entirely healthy. This entails allowing your family and children to become emotionally attached to a kitten that may be severely ill. Humanimal Connection tests for FIV and Feline Leukemia to ensure the kitten you are bringing into your home is both healthy and happy. Please, think twice before bringing a "free" kitten into your home!
