We ask that you spend at least 30 minutes with the cat or dog you want to adopt. Please plan on spending more time to fully complete the adoption process.
Fill out our adoption application and meet with an adoption counselor.
You must be at least 18 years of age.
You must show a picture ID with a current address. If this isn't available, we will accept a picture ID with a current utility bill.
Adopting a cat? We require you to live within 100 miles of Austin. Adopters outside of that radius are considered on a case-by-case basis for special needs cats.
Adopting a dog? An APA!-conducted meet-and-greet with current household dogs is generally recommended for most and required for some adult dogs.
Our adoption fee varies per animal depending on age, breed, and medical and/or behavioral conditions. This fee includes:
Spay or neuter surgery (Please note that an additional minimum $100 refundable deposit is required for all animals who are not spayed or neutered yet.)
Heartworm test on dogs 6 months and older, and FeLV test on all cats and kittens
Current vaccinations
Deworming treatment
Microchip
Lifetime behavior support
Note: Some pets are transferred into our care due to extensive medical needs and therefore may have a higher adoption fee to help support our continued life-saving efforts.
Accepted forms of payment include cash, debit or credit card, or money order payable to Austin Pets Alive!.
