Why are cat adoption fees so high?
Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animal while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee.
Why is it so expensive to adopt a cat?
Even though you may be handing over a few large bills to take home your new pet, you’re likely saving money. Shelters and rescue groups typically cover initial veterinary costs, which may be high for an animal in poor health. They also pay for the animals’ food, transportation and other expenses.
What is a pending adoption?
When you see an “Adoption Pending” sign on an animal’s cage it simply means that someone has applied to adopt that animal. Because any number of things can cause an adoption to fall through, we will continue to accept additional applications until the animal leaves the shelter with his/her new family.
Why are the volunteers at RASKC so important?
When the volunteers help customers leave with a positive impression of RASKC, this reinforces our brand identity as a terrific place to adopt a new family member. Hopefully those customers will not only adopt one or more animals but also to “spread the word” to others about their positive impression of RASKC.
