The Humane Society of Harford County has introduced a brand new way to adopt a fun-loving feline—the “Pick Your Purr-Fect Price” cat adoption program.
Have you ever been given or found a stray cat or kitten and decided to keep it? That first visit to the veterinarian can be very eye-opening, considering all the costs to ensure a happy, healthy companion animal. At the end of that first year together, vet bills can easily exceed $425 (see illustration)!
At the shelter, we invest well over $150 in immunizations, treatments, testing, food and care for each of our cats. What is it worth to be able to adopt a cat or kitten that’s been fully vetted? With our “Pick Your Purr-Fect Price” cat adoption program, you get a cat or kitten at the price you tell us!

If your new best friend isn’t already spayed or neutered, there is a $50 deposit at the time of adoption that is refunded to you upon completion of the procedure within 60 days (or 60 days after the kitten reaches 6 months old).
Adoption really is the best option because when you adopt, you’re saving two lives: the life of the cat or kitten you adopt and the life of another cat or kitten waiting for an empty cage so it can go up for adoption.
