Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Brookings, South Dakota

Air Boat is a full-time affection machine disguised as an orange cat. If you are sitting, standing, crouching, or even thinking about existing — he would like to be held, please and thank you. Personal space is a concept he does not acknowledge.

This sweet, squishy boy greets you like you’ve returned from a years-long voyage every time you walk into the room. He immediately rises onto his back legs for a hug, wraps his front paws around your arm or shoulder, and presses his forehead into you with the force and sincerity of a tiny, purring battering ram. His headbutts are frequent, enthusiastic, and delivered with zero regard for your coffee, your phone, or your structural stability.


Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!!

Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, ($25-125 +TAX) special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances.

Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.
