Wildrun is a wildlife control business that also places resocialized feral (wild) cats in permanent, loving homes. Our goal is "fewer feral cats and less wildlife predation in the United States in fifty years, through the sterilization or removal of adult feral cats and the adoption of kittens into indoor homes."
Our youngest kittens are bottlefed and completely friendly. Older kittens may be shy at first but will usually become outgoing household pets. Our young adult cats will bond with one person or couple but commonly choose to hide under the bed when company arrives. We also support several neutered street-cat colonies. These cats are available for adoption into safe, responsible, country or barn homes if all the current barn cats are (or will be) neutered.
TERMS FOR ADOPTIONClick Here for a Note to Students
We adopt to indoor homes only, except for the rare cat that insists on indoor/outdoor access.
If the cat does not work for you, he or she must be returned to Wildrun. Ownership may not be transferred to another owner or shelter, without checking with us first.
There is no adoption fee, but adopters are expected to be able to afford veterinary care for their current pets and a new adoptee. Free-will donations are used for care and veterinary fees of shelter cats, street cats, and barn cats.
All pets currently in your household must be spayed or neutered.
All of our cats, and may of our kittens, are spayed or neutered. You agree to provide all future veterinary care, including rabies vaccinations required by law, and spay/neuter if you choose an unneutered kitten. Cats can live up to 25 years! Think before you adopt.
Either the cat or a littermate has tested negative for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
Cats may be reclaimed by Wildrun for the following reasons:
Failure to provide veterinary care or spay/neuter.
Unauthorized transfer of the ownership of the cat
Any act of animal cruelty or neglect according to Article 26, Agriculture and Markets, NYS.
Falsifying information on the adoption agreement
Our cats are very important to us. We want them out of here into homes, but we want them to go to responsible, thoughtful homes. Many of adopters are now close friends, kitten fosterers, or return to socialize our shelter cats. If adoption is not a good option for you right now, consider visiting the cats regularly instead. (note: our webpage counter was reset on April 30, 2003).Those are the basics! Move on now to see our cats and kittens . Because new kittens are always arriving, not all may be pictured.
