Hi, I'm Trout, and I, and my five babies, have just returned from our amazing foster home where we have been loved and deeply cared for over the past ten weeks, and we are all now ready to move on to our new families. Everyone who knows me says I am the sweetest kitty, and I humbly assert that they're not wrong!

Hi, I'm Henry. I can be a little shy at first, but once I'm comfortable I'm a super friendly boy. My previous home described me as pretty independant and quiet. I lived with another cat and a dog in my previous home and did well, I preferred they just kept their distance. I'm still fairly new to the shelter so they're still getting to know me better, but everyone loves me. Come meet me!

How to adopt from Great River Rescue
Dogs cost $175 and cats $75. Potential adopters must first apply to adopt a pet. There are no same day adoptions allowed unless someone travels from a great distance. If approved, the adopter signs an adoption contract and pays the adoption fee. Renters must provide proof from the landlord that they are allowed to have a pet.
Adopting a cat in Deer River
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
