Choosing my cat         

It is important to understand that adopting an animal is a lifelong comittment.  Many cats live 20 or more years.  CITC volunteers are available to acquaint each individual with the pet of their choice.  There are a few considerations that are important when bringing a new pet into your home.  Volunteers can assist by offering information regarding the cat's "purr-sonality" and behavior patterns.  They can also answer questions pertaining to orienting a new kitty to a new home, children, or other existing pets.

Meeting my cat                                         

CITC has 10 cats/kittens residing at the Alpharetta and Cumming PetSmart locations.  The remaining animals live at the main shelter.  On the weekends, some of these will be transported to PetSmart for the adoption event.  If an individual would like to meet a certain animal at the weekend event or during the week,  a request can be made using email at citcrescue@yahoo.com.  Volunteers are happy to transport one or more to the Alpharetta PetSmart to be seen and/or  adopted.  All kitties have been spayed/neutered, tested, vaccinated, dewormed, and checked for fleas and earmites.

Dogs and Cats?

Harry and Buster had a plan

To liberate a leg of lamb

Harry climbed up, pushed it over

Buster caught it - both in cover!

And so they proved beyond a doubt

That cats and dogs can work it out.

KIDS AND KATS? 

For some of us, we can never remember when we didn't have a furry friend.  That special pet who always seemed to be around, giving friendly licks, loving rubs with tails that curled around our necks, and that wonderful purr as we napped together.  This wonderful little guy is beginning his own special relationship with his special furry  friend, Jack.

Adoption procedure

An adoption questionnaire must be completed and returned to CITC .  Once the quesionnaire has been reviewed and approved, an Adoption Agreement is signed.  Then kitty can go home!
