PAWS Adoption Value
When you adopt a PAWS kitty, the fee helps cover part of the cost of care for your adopted cat, plus it enables us to continue to rescue more homeless felines.
Before adoption, PAWS provides more than $1,000 in medical care and basic services, including:
-
Vet examination ($118)
-
Spaying/neutering surgery, if needed ($500-800)
-
Age-appropriate vaccinations for
Rabies ($64)
FVRCP (aka feline distemper) vaccination/boosters ($30 each)
-
Test for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia ($40)
-
Deworming and flea/mite treatments ($10-40 each)
-
Microchip insertion ($25-70)
​
We also provide, as needed:
-
Vet-prescribed medications
-
Special diets
-
Dental extractions and other critically needed dental work
-
Other medical treatments or surgical procedures for illnesses or injuries
Finally, all our kitties go to their new homes with a Free Exam Certificate from VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital (worth $110) for their first visit. In addition, whenever possible, foster homes also send the cat home with:
-
Some of the food the cat has been eating
-
Beds or toys that the cat was using at its foster home
-
Tips and observations about your cat's likes and dislikes to help you help your cat transition to their new home
