We have young 8 week old kittens ready to go home today if you live within 15 miles of the shelter and are willing to be part of our foster to adopt program. You must commit to bring the kitten back on a date we specify for their spay/neuter and vaccines.
If you do not live within 15 miles of the shelter, you can put a deposit hold on a kitten ($50) and pick them up after they get spay/neuter and vaccines in a few weeks.
Please fill out an adoption application located here to be invited in for an appointment to see these cuties: https://thepetrefuge.org/adopt/

Lennon (pictured above), Peanut, and Midnight, our 3 FIP kitties, are all thriving. Each one is gaining weight, eating, and playing. They are all very friendly and now enjoying free roam space in a contained room. We are looking for a foster home for Lennon and Midnight (bonded pair) (Peanut recently went to her foster to adopt home). Their 84 day medication regimen is $1500 each. Each one of these cats had multiple day stays at the hospital and our medical fund is pretty much depleted from not only their care, but many other sick cats we are currently treating.
BMO is another super sweet cat who was going to be euthanized when the vet called us to take her. She is only 7 years old and was having problems with breathing. After investigation, we found she has a cancerous tumor in her throat. We are trying to raise the funds to move forward with an approximate $11,000 surgery and radiation treatment as she has a good prognosis.
We see a lot of sad stories and sick cats. But we are also so rewarded when we heal them and they are adopted. There is no better feeling of good done! As a true no-kill rescue, we will spare no expense for a cat that has any chance of a positive outcome.
All of this and numerous other sick cats have nearly drained our medical fund. We are in dire need of replenishment. Donations in any amount are desperately needed to allow us to continue with care for Lennon, Peanut, Midnight, and BMO, among many others. Will you help please?
We are looking for new fosters for all types of cats that need various types of help.
Up for foster to adopt- sweet 4 month old Lennon and 1 Year old Midnight bonded pair are love bugs!! They are snuggly, playful, sweet and give kisses- they love to be held and cuddled.
They are both being treated for FIP and is on once daily meds for about 45 more days. We are looking for a “foster to adopt” home for them. Why foster to adopt? Because we want to be able to provide them the meds they need and keep in close contact with his foster as they are being treated and likely fully cured from FIP (90% cure rate). Once they are done with their meds and cleared, they can then be officially adopted by his foster family. Plus we want them in a low stress environment, and a home is always the best place for kitties like this.
