Adopting a Companion from Foster Pet Outreach

They're Healthy! All cats in our care are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, tested and treated for worms, fleas, ticks and ear mites, plus spayed or neutered.

They've had their shots! Cats receive their FVRCP combo vaccine to protect against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia, rabies and Feline Leukemia booster.

They want to meet you!  We interview prospective adopters to ensure a good match. Once we have an idea of which cat will fit best in your family, we'll bring the foster cat to your home for a visit with family members and other pets in the household. Foster Pet Outreach then requires a 24 hour waiting period before placing a cat in a new home.  

They're such a good deal! Our adoption fee is $175. 

Look what a typical veterinarian charges for just some of what Foster Pet Outreach provides:

That's not counting microchipping, monthly flea and heartworm protection and any other health issues that may arise. Generous donations from kind animal lovers have helped keep our adoption fees affordable for all.

What we expect from you:

We hope that enough thought and care is put into each adoption that this will be a forever home. Please understand that moving to a new home is especially stressful for a cat. It can take several weeks, or even months for a cat to feel truly at home in your house. If you realize that the match is not quite perfect, we expect that the animal will be returned to Foster Pet Outreach. Hopefully, this decision will be final soon after the adoption, but we will take an animal back at any point in their life.

We require cats be kept indoors and remain up to date on all vaccinations during the life of the pet.

We limit our adoptions to an area within approximately 60 miles of Peoria, Illinois. We are all volunteers, with jobs and families. Each adoption takes hours of our time, and travel expenses from our own pockets.

Out of State adoptions are just Out of the Question!

Each of these animals has already suffered the loss of at least one home.  Foster Pet Outreach is committed to seeing that the next home will be permanent. To help our volunteers do this, we ask you to fill out an adoption application. This does not guarantee you will be able to adopt this pet, but rather, helps us to match the correct pet with the proper family.
