From our hearts to your home

Adoption Process

Meet the Cats

Our cats are located at our Adoption Center on Trent and Argonne and at the Spokane Valley PetSmart on Broadway. We encourage all potential adopters to meet and interact with our cats before making your decision.

Adoption Application

This gives us basic information about your family and home environment, and helps us ensure a good match between cat and family.

Application Approval

Because they spend the most time with the cats in a home environment and are most familiar with their personalities, foster homes get the final say on all adoptions. This can mean there is a (less than 24 hours) delay between when an application is submitted and an adoption decision is made. We also must contact landlords for everyone who rents to ensure pets are allowed in the rental property.

Returns

Once a cat comes through the Partners for Pets program they are always a member of our kitty family. For that reason we always take back any cats adopted from us if for any reason (even years later). Unless an arrangement was made when you adopted your cat, we do not provide refunds. Please do not bring the cat in without calling us first at 509.893.9829.

Adoption Fee

Our adoption fee helps recoup some of our costs for caring for our rescues until they find their forever homes. As a 100% nonprofit organization, these fees allow us to continue rescuing cats who need our help.

Adoption Fees:
Cats (1 year+) $85
Cats (6-12 months) $95
Kittens (under 6 months) $150 for one or $250 for two

All Adoptions Include:

  • Spay/Neuter

  • Microchip

  • Rabies

  • Vaccinations

  • Deworming

  • A health check at our veterinarian within two weeks of adoption. If they find any health issues at the time, Partners for Pets will pay for the treatment.

Adoption Policies

For the safety and wellbeing of all of our rescues, we have a few requirements for all cats and kittens adopted from us.

Indoor Only

On average indoor cats live 10 year longer than their outdoor counterparts. By keeping your cat indoors you are preventing them from contracting diseases or parasites, being hit by cars, being subjected to animal cruelty, being attacked by other feral or wild animals, or ingesting toxins and poisons.

NO Declawing

Cats need their claws. They are important for balance and defense and removing them is the equivalent of removing the tip of a human finger to the first knuckle. Many cats who have been declawed develop a biting habit to make up for their lack of defense and may experience pain in their feet, often leading to them no longer using the litter box properly.
