If this is your first time visiting this site, please read the below information carefully.

For anyone who wishes to adopt, there is a mandatory deposit fee of $200 plus a transaction fee per animal to place an adoption reservation. The $200 covers $50 toward the adoption fee and $150 for the spay/neuter deposit. If the animal has already been spayed or neutered or is permanently waived by one of our veterinarians, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time of the adoption. If the animal does need to leave without being spayed or neutered due to his/her medical condition, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time they are brought back for the spay/neuter surgery or when proof of sterilization being done elsewhere is provided to ACC. If you do not follow through with the adoption, the entire $200 deposit will be considered a charitable donation to ACC's Special Treatment and Recovery Fund (STAR). Also, if the adoption fee for an animal is less than $50, the difference will be considered a charitable donation to the STAR Fund. Similarly, in-shelter pricing promotions do not apply to at-risk animals.

To complete an adoption, please click reserve on the animal of your choice. That animal will be loaded in your cart and you will have 15 minutes to complete the adoption process. In order to complete your reservation, you need to check out (top right corner). At this point, you will enter in your credit card information and a receipt will be emailed to you as confirmation of your reservation.

Leo

Reserved

Leo is on the at-risk list due to behavior and medical concerns. He is not thriving in the care center and is deteriorating in the Adoptions room. Although hissing and tolerant initially, Leo no longer allows petting or handling. Due to his stress levels, it is in his best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. He would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give him plenty of time and space and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust. Medically, Leo has chronic skin issues that will require management. In kennel he is very stressed and does not allow much treatment, however on intake he was social, soliciting attention and allowing medical handling. It is possible that he will allow medical management in a different low-stress environment.

Lindor

Reserved

Lindor is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Lindor is a friendly geriatric pup who presented with an ulcerated mass on his right hind leg. Bloodwork revealed abnormalities that suggest underlying chronic disease and possible neoplasia. Lindor would benefit from a rapid shelter exit where he could be brought to a full service vet hospital for evaluation of his conditions. Lindor has allowed for all handling during his exams.

Miss Dates

Reserved

Miss Dates is on the at risk list for medical reasons. He is a sweet mature cat who is not eating in shelter due to a recurrent upper respiratory tract infection. He also has a heart murmur. He needs supportive care in a veterinary clinic and then a quiet home to convalesce.

Teal

Reserved

Teal has been placed on the at-risk list due to exhibiting persistent fearful behavior during their stay in the care center. At this time, Teal appears shut down and is not showing signs of acclimating to or thriving in the shelter environment. Teal has also demonstrated a decline in self-care behaviors, including not grooming and frequently being found sitting in feces. Medically, he is underweight and has been experiencing diarrhea while in care. He is currently undergoing a probiotic trial and will require further diagnostic workup if the diarrhea persists.
