In general, dog adoption fees are more than cats, and puppy and kitten fees are higher than adult cats and dogs. And elderly\u00a0\\ senior dogs and cats have a very low adoption fee to make it easier for them to find a home.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the reasons to adopt from a shelter and not buy from a breeder:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saving a life: A rescued animal only has so much time in some shelters. Every adoption from these rescues and shelters frees up a spot for another animal.<\/li>\n<li>Costs less: The adoption fees for both dogs and cats are far lower than the prices from a breeder or store.<\/li>\n<li>Health issues: Shelters and rescues either have vet clinics or work with local veterinarians. They will not put a sick animal up for adoption without making the health issues known.<\/li>\n<li>Not giving $ to puppy mills: Puppy mills are factory style breeders with poor conditions. No more needs to be said.<\/li>\n<li>Saving a life: Yes, I\u2019m repeating this one because you saved an animal who will, in turn, bring you much joy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><b>WARNING<\/b><\/strong>: If you go to these websites and start looking at photos of cats and dogs, you are likely to be highly motivated to adopt one. Or more than one pet because they are way too cute.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>Where to Adopt a Cat<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here are 5 locations and websites that only have cats for adoption.

They also have links if you found a cat, lost a cat, need to surrender your cat, low-cost vet care and more useful information. They also have a cat foster option if you are interested.<\/p>\n<p>Adoption fee is $85.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenstreetrescue.org\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Green Street Rescue<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Greet Street<br \/>\nPhiladelphia, PA 19130<\/p>\n<p>They have a foster option and various volunteer opportunities.

Currently, under other animals, they have a 19-year-old horse named Sandra Dee. I\u2019d adopt her if I lived on a farm.
