Beware of Fake Rehoming Posts

Scammers on Facebook and Craigslist use “small rehoming fee” posts with stolen photos to trick buyers. If you found a rehoming post online, verify it before sending any money.

Why Adopt?

Lower Cost

Adoption fees ($150–$400) include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping — a fraction of breeder prices.

Adult Cats Available
