Cat-a-licous felines - all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities

Buffalo Humane has many cats that are just waiting to find their forever homes. While we feel these cats are worth their weight in gold, we are currently offering our fully vetted cats at reduced adoption rates. Adopt a sweet, lovable, already altered, vaccinated and FeLV/FIV tested cat for only $35, and if you adopt two together, you will be getting a lifetime of love and devotion for only $50. Our under-socialized and older cats are looking for a warm place to call their own and a warm-hearted person to share their space; adoption fees are waived for these special placements.

Adoption process

Buffalo Humane does not have a shelter facility. All cats reside in the homes of volunteers who foster the kitties until a suitable home can be found. In the mean time, our foster homes evaluate temperament, personality, and reactions to dogs, other cats, and children. Our fosters also do significant rehabilitation work with cats that have been undersocialized to humans. Cats are also litter-trained, or re-trained a necessary.

Our mission revolves around the needs of our adoptable animals, so their placement and ongoing well-being is our principle concern. We require an adoption application, veterinary & personal reference, and a home visit. Finally, the decision to place an animal rests primarily with the foster, who has the best interests of the animal at heart and who knows best that animal's needs and temperament.

Application

Before meeting any of our adoptable animals, we recommend contacting the animal's foster for further information. We also require that you submit an application (it needn't be on any particular animal) before we will arrange for a meet-and-greet with the animal. You can fill out an adoption application online or download a paper version:

Contract & adoption donation

Our adoption contract can also seem quite strict, with a number of provisions relating to our expectations about the care to be provided to the animals that are adopted from us. While we do make exceptions, this is quite rare and done on a case-by-case basis.

Our standard adoption donation is $85 for kittens and $65 for cats. Currently, we have a special of $35 for our adult social cats ($50 for two). Many shy, elderly, or semi-feral cats are available at no charge to persons who agree be their sanctuary caregivers for life. All the animals are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, FIV/FeLV-tested, wormed, flea-treated, and many are microchipped.
