Adopt a Cat

Reduced Fees For Cat Adoption

All cat adoption fees are now $35 

Adoptable Cats

If there are no cats listed, please do not fret. That means that the cats are getting reunited with owners or adopted into new homes right away. Check back frequently to see who might be looking for a new home with you. Also, check out the adoptable pets in need of rehoming at our Home to Home site.

If you do not find that special match today, please check back with us frequently as new cats come in daily.  Also consider contacting one of the other shelters or pet rescue organizations in our area. By adopting from our partners, you may be facilitating transfer of another cat from Rochester Animal Services to one of those organizations. You  can also use the Petco Love Lost tool provided below to search for adoptable animals in our areas. Saving lives is a community effort and we are making great things happen together.  

Donate to Boost Adoptions

Some donors have expressed interest in sponsoring the adoption of a particular animal. Others may want to contribute to medical expenses or special needs for other animals. These may be animals that have been with us for longer than others or for animals with some special needs that may be deterring adopters. In either case, such contributions help place pets into new homes quicker. If you are interested in making a donation toward a specific animal's adoption fees or expenses related to medical or special needs care, please notify us at AnimalServices@cityofrochester.gov so that we can ensure that your contribution is allocated for those particular purposes.

When making an online donation to a specific animal, please explain the purpose and enter the animal's name and reference number in the memo field. Click here to donate now!
