What is included in the Adoption?
- Select vaccinations. Vaccinations need to be updated regularly as instructed by your family vet. All pets are vaccinated prior to adoption and a vaccine history will be provided at the time of adoption.
- Spay or neuter surgery. It’s part of our commitment to reducing the population of unwanted and homeless animals.
- Microchip ID and national registration. Microchips are registered and updated with current contact information at the time of adoption. This information can be updated anytime by creating an account on the website for the pet’s microchip.
Items Required for Adoption
If you don’t have a carrier to pick up your cat, if available, HAVA will have a pet carrier available for purchase.
Do I need to register my pet with the city?
Cats are not required to be registered with the city.
Where do the animals come from?
Many of our pets are from right here in our community. They may be stray or lost, or surrendered by a family who can no longer care for them.
Some of our animals may arrive at HAVA through our transport program! HAVA has partnerships with other shelters and rescues. Transporting animals provides an opportunity to find homes for many animals from other facilities that are overcrowded and cannot care for them. We’re grateful for the opportunity to provide a second chance to these animals in need.
What food does HAVA provide its pets?
While staying at HAVA, we feed pets high-quality Hill’s pet food through Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love Program. Providing a consistent diet of premium, healthy pet food supports general animal health, reduces digestive issues, and allows adopters to maintain their pet’s diet. We can assist with more information about pet food and diets at the time of adoption.
