Shelters/Rescues
PETFINDER
is a nationwide search site and the best way of finding rescues
by zip code. However, be warned that not all rescues listed
on Petfinder are legitimate non-profits or reputable rescues.
Non-profits can be checked on the PA
Bureau of Charitable Organizations website.
Reputable, non-profit (501c3) rescue groups help ensure the
best possible outcome when adopting or surrendering a pet. These
groups have standard screening guidelines and adoption agreements
and fees as well as veterinary documentation certifying spaying
or neutering, testing for feline leukemia and aids, vaccinations,
and treatment of parasites. Ask about their application process,
adoption agreement, screening guidelines, vet services performed,
declawing policy and any other concerns. Adoption fees required
by legitimate non-profits reflect the cost of vet services and
other care for the animal while the adoption agreement reflects
a legally binding commitment. Always take all newly adopted
animals for a vet visit immediately after adoption. If you have
existing cats, keep new cats isolated for two weeks. If not
tested, keep isolated until tested!
Be EXCEPTIONALLY cautious when adopting or surrendering
pets through unknown sources, for example, newspaper
ads or neighborhood signs. Ask rescues, shelters, or vets in
the area if they know the person. If you are adopting a cat,
always ask for an adoption contract and veterinary certification
that services or treatments were performed. Contact the
vet to verify. Never advertise your pets as “free to a
good home”. Hoarders and bunchers (people sell animals
to labs) prey on free pets.
