Adopting a Pet
Our goal is to match available pets with suitable homes to ensure long-term success.
Adoption Process
Adoption appointments are made by phone Wednesday through Saturday from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm by calling (909) 466-7387, press option 0. You will be scheduled a date and time to visit the Center, at which time you will be given the list of available animals to meet with. Please note, some pets generate an overwhelming amount of interest from the public. To ensure appointments are available for other pets, these pets will be made available for in-person adoptions, first come, first approved on a specific date. Adoption fees may be increased to help support the needs of the other pets at the Center and help them get adopted. See the animal's profile under the Adopt a Pet page for more information.
Please note:
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!
The TNR program is currently closed. If you have a feral cat and need assistance, please email Elsa.Tristan@cityofrc.us
