My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Papa Georgio and I am a orange tabby domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 2 years and 5 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 10/01/2024 due to the fact they just didn`t have time for me. They were my family for 3-6 months. I am used to staying inside during the day and inside during the night. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I can be good with men, women, and children. I cannot live with dogs and I cannot live with other cats.

All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Cats are vaccinated against distemper and rabies, receive a flea preventative, are spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Applicants do not need to commit to a particular animal, but may indicate particular ones of interest they see on our website.

2.
Approve Application

Staff will preapprove the application, then schedule the applicant for a meet & greet appointment with the animal(s) they are interested in.

3.
Meet the Pet

The applicant may meet the animal(s) they are interested in and then make the decision on whether they would like to move forward to adopt.

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

When the applicant decides to move forward with adoption, there is a short adoption agreement to sign.

5.
Pay Fee

We charge an adoption fee of $100 for cats and dogs, $40 for rabbits, and $10 for other small animal types.

6.
Take the Pet Home

Many times animals are able to go home the same day as their meet & greet appointment.

Additional adoption info

The Ames Animal Shelter's adoption process is all about ensuring the right match for the benefit of both the people and the animal. We use our application screening process to pre-approve applicants for general adoption. This gets all the boring paperwork stuff out of the way so when you come in to the shelter we can focus with you on finding the perfect furry friend match.

Our applications are not a simple pass/fail process, but instead are an opportunity for us to gather information on the needs of your family and the situation you'll be bringing an animal into.
