Adopting a Pet
Our goal is to match available pets with suitable homes to ensure long-term success.
Adoption Process
Effective August 4, 2021 adoptions are in-person, first come, first approved (no appointment necessary).
Adoption Hours: Wednesday through Saturday 2pm to 5pm.
Adoptions start at 2pm Wednesday to Saturday. A sign in list is available at the Animal Center starting at 9am. We will take adopters in the order they are signed in starting at 2pm. Due to high interest in adoptions, we may need to stop accepting names at any point in order to complete meet and greets by 5pm.
Some pets generate an overwhelming amount of interest from the public. Adoption fees for these pets may be increased to help support the needs of the other pets at the Center and help them get adopted.
Due to the volume of calls recieved, we may not be able to answer phone calls about individual animals. Visit the animal's profile under Adopt a Pet page and click their photo for more information.
Adoption Requirements:
Do you have room in your house and heart to help a pet in need? The RC Animal Center is always looking for foster families to temporarily care for orphaned pets, pets recovering from medical procedures and pets that need to learn a few manners before they are placed up for adoption. We provide foster families with all the supplies and assistance needed to help make the fostering experience a success.
If you are not able to foster or volunteer, but can donate supplies to our program, check out our Foster Care Wish List.
The Kitten Nursery is currently closed. Check back with us soon!
In 2015, the RC Animal Center opened a 24-hour neonatal kitten nursery to care for kittens 1 day old to 8 weeks old. Recipient of the 2016 Helen Putnam Award of Excellence in the category of Public Trust, Ethics and Community Involvement, the RC Kitten Nursery is one of the first municipal kitten nurseries to open. Since opening, it has provided a safe haven for thousands of orphaned kittens. The program is largely funded from donations and volunteer support.
We encourage you to be a part of this exciting and life-saving movement by volunteering or donating!
TNR services are currenlty being offered in targeted neighborhoods. If you have a feral cat in your neighborhood and need assistance, please email Field.Services@cityofrc.us or call (909) 466-7387 option 1.
