ADOPTION PROCESS
The following information details our adoption policies and procedures:
The process is implemented consistently. Adopting an animal may be more involved than you expect. The best interests of the animals in our care is our primary concern. Our goal for these animals is to secure a permanent home.
If you are here with your children, PLEASE DO NOT LEAD THEM TO BELIEVE YOU WILL BE ADOPTING OR GOING HOME WITH AN ANIMAL. The process, depending on staff/volunteer availability may take several days. We reserve the right to deny an application without cause.
KAC personnel will accompany individuals interested in adopting a pet during the initial visit. KAC personnel will provide the history and needs of the animal including the feeding and exercise requirements necessary. Adoption fees vary by age and type of pet.

Upon submission of a completed adoption application, all required information will be verified.
