Animal Info

Meet Bertie, a lovely 15-year-old senior looking for a loving home to spend his golden years.

Despite the rather stern look he wears, Bertie is a gentle giant! The highlight of his day is mealtime, followed closely by spending time with his person. Bertie is a Chronic Upper Respiratory cat, meaning that he sneezes often, and frequently sounds congested. What this means is that Bertie should be seen by his adopter’s vet to determine the best ways to keep him happy and healthy, and for other related visits as needed.

He’s an easy-going guy who loves a cozy cat bed to curl up in, and never turns down any scritches behind the ears he’s offered! If you’re looking for an affectionate senior kitty, Bertie is the purrfect pick!

We take credit cards (preferred), debit cards, and cash to process payments. We are unable to accept checks.

We cannot hold animals. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend checking our website often when you’re ready to adopt. Our adoption page is updated in real-time as animals are added and adopted.

It’s important to note that an approved application does not guarantee adoption. It simply means that you have been approved to adopt from the RHSPCA. We recommend checking your email for our approval message (or follow up questions) and then scheduling a pet adoption appointment to meet the animal you’re interested in, should they still be available.

Approved applications are non-binding, you can change your mind at any time. We’ll also keep your approved application on file for 30 days.

  • Please bring a valid ID so we can process your adoption, in case you find a pet you love. Dogs leaving the building must be on a leash (available to purchase at the shelter). Cats leaving the building must be in a carrier (also available to purchase at the shelter).
  • We ask that you please leave your current pets at home. We want to first make sure that it’s a good match between humans and shelter animals. After your initial appointment, we can schedule a time for an introduction with your resident pets at the shelter, if needed.

Yes! We do adopt to out-of-area homes. A meet and greet with the pet is required. Please keep in mind that the shelter has a first come, first serve adoption policy when making your travel plans.

Adopters may only adopt 2 pets within a 30-day period.
