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

Meet Jessica, a lovely six-month-old white and brown tabby with a gentle heart and a quiet charm all her own. Spayed, medically up to date, and ready for her next chapter, Jessica is looking for a patient home where she can settle in at her own pace.

She may be a little shy when you first meet her—Jessica prefers to make a thoughtful entrance rather than burst dramatically onto the scene. Give her some time, a cozy spot to observe from, and a few kind words, and you’ll start to see her sweet personality bloom.

Once she feels safe, Jessica is the kind of cat who makes earning her trust feel extra special. She’s soft, lovely, and worth every bit of patience. If you’re the type who understands that the best friendships sometimes start quietly, Jessica may be your perfect match.

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.
