Adoption
Center
Our Community Adoption Center is a place to meet adoptable animals. With our open rooms, direct contact with the animals allows you to interact and get to know each animal’s personality. Our kitty rooms house anywhere between 5-25 cats at any given time. Because of all the interactions our kitties experience, they grow up to be exceptionally social not only with humans but with other cats as well. We love being able to provide this unique experience to our community!
The puppies are available to visit during open hours. Due to arrangements with our foster homes, they might arrive later or leave earlier in the day. We don’t always have puppies so please call ahead and ask. (707) 296-4629 We are more than happy to let adult visitors take the puppies on walks nearby or to the beach or forest.
Things to Know:
Visiting is available to all ages, but anyone under 16 years of age needs to be accompanied by an adult guardian.
All adult visitors need to provide a photo I.D. (e.g. driver’s license).
Our current open hours are Wednesday 12-4 Thursday 1-6 Friday 12-4 Saturday 11-3
This is a very interactive animal program and is designed for children who have a strong passion to learn more about a variety of animals. This may be because they want to work with animals in some capacity for their career, or it may just be that they want to learn as much as they can about animals. The program includes dog obedience classes, animal care for a variety of creatures, guest speakers, animal nutrition, and so much more.
The program has multiple groups, allowing children 8-16 years old to enroll. Click on the "Youth Summer Program" link to the left of this page to download and print the applications!

Feral Cat Trapping
The most significant way to help our local cat colonies (and the humans they affect) and prevent diseases in our community is by preventing feral births. We loan out humane traps designed for catching feral cats so that you can help us trap, spay/neuter, and release feral cats back into a healthier, safer community. If you are interested in this program please give us a call or come to our Sunny Brae store so we can make a plan for your trapping needs.
Spay/Neuter Assistance
We do our best to provide financial assistance to low-income individuals who need their cat or dog fixed but cannot afford the operation. Please understand that this is a program with limited funding meant to help those in our community who want to be responsible with their companion but whose financial situation makes it currently impossible, it is not intended as a free discount for anyone who wants an animal fixed. This program does not cover other medical services (e.g. shots, medication, etc.).
We are working hard to make this program available to any rescued animal within Humboldt County.
For more information please give us a call at the Adoption Center (707) 296-4629 during our open hours.
Our wonderful Cheryl Boden heads up this program with just a few other volunteers which makes catnip pillows that are sold for $2 each at various locations in Humboldt. All proceeds from these pillows (~$3000 a year!) go entirely to helping feed and medicate our rescued animals, and your cat will go bananas for them. Demand always outstrips supply and if you would like to volunteer your time to helping sew them it will automatically mean more money for the animals, contact cafoutreach@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer specifically for this program.
