Who We Are
Harmony House is a not-for-profit, cageless, no-kill shelter. We receive no government funding and rely entirely upon contributions from caring animal lovers to provide for the cats. Each of our 120+ cats receives the time and attention she or he needs to find the right, loving adoptive home. Since 1970, Harmony House has helped thousands of cats in need.
Adopting a friend
To be able to adopt the same day you visit, we ask that you come to the shelter at least one hour before closing time, but recommend allowing as much time as possible. After all, this will be a new member of your family, and it's a very important decision to make!
When you arrive at Harmony House, you will be assisted by one of our adoption counselors. These trained staff members are ready to help you select the right cat or kitten for your unique lifestyle and home environment. In addition, counselors will offer you information on the types of cat food and litter your new pet is used to, what type of scratching posts are most popular with cats, plus advice on introducing a cat or kitten to a pet already in your home.
ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS
All Harmony House adopters must be 21 years or older, currently employed, live in a house, condo, or apartment where cats are welcome, and have telephone or cell phone service.
To ensure that the adoption process runs smoothly, please bring:
A driver's license, state photo ID, or passport to verify your age; a driver's license, state photo ID, or utility bill to verify your current address; and a copy of your telephone bill with your current address to verify your telephone number
We require that all the members of the household be present at the time of the adoption—which includes family, roommates, and especially children. Our staff can better advise you on which cats would be suitable when they can observe the adopter(s) interact with various cats and kittens.
ADOPTION SERVICES
Our adoption fee is $75 for any cat or kitten, and includes the following services performed prior to adoption: Spay / neuter surgery; vaccinations for rabies, distemper, rhinotracheitis and calicivirus; treatment for fleas, earmites, and internal parasites testing for Feline Leukemia and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus); and an AVID Microchip
