Animal Info

Matilda was surrendered when her owner experienced significant health issues and was no longer able to care for her. This senior girl spent almost 14 years with her beloved owner and is looking for a very special home.

Matilda requires a household with no young children or dogs, and she can be quite vocal about her feelings when meeting new people. She thrives in a calm and quiet environment where she can take her time coming out of her shell. Once she becomes comfortable with someone, Matilda’s endearing personality shows. She becomes talkative and affectionate, occasionally climbing into the lap of someone she trusts.

She is looking for a patient household with experienced cat owners who have the financial means to care for the veterinary expenses associated with owning a teenage cat.

We are looking for Matilda’s perfect match and will be selective in who she is placed with to ensure that it’s a peaceful environment capable of meeting her needs.

What payment methods do you accept?

We take credit cards (preferred), debit cards, and cash to process payments. We are unable to accept checks.

Will you hold a pet for me until I can come see them?

We cannot hold animals. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend checking our website often when you’re ready to adopt. Our adoption page is updated in real-time as animals are added and adopted.

Does my application guarantee I’ll get the pet I want?

It’s important to note that an approved application does not guarantee adoption. It simply means that you have been approved to adopt from the RHSPCA. We recommend checking your email for our approval message (or follow up questions) and then scheduling a pet adoption appointment to meet the animal you’re interested in, should they still be available.

Are applications binding?

Approved applications are non-binding, you can change your mind at any time. We’ll also keep your approved application on file for 30 days.

What do I need to bring with me to the shelter?

Please bring a valid ID so we can process your adoption, in case you find a pet you love. Dogs leaving the building must be on a leash (available to purchase at the shelter). Cats leaving the building must be in a carrier (also available to purchase at the shelter).
We ask that you please leave your current pets at home. We want to first make sure that it’s a good match between humans and shelter animals. After your initial appointment, we can schedule a time for an introduction with your resident pets at the shelter, if needed.

Can I adopt if I live out of the area?

Yes! We do adopt to out-of-area homes. A meet and greet with the pet is required. Please keep in mind that the shelter has a first come, first serve adoption policy when making your travel plans.

Are there any restrictions?

Adopters may only adopt 2 pets within a 30-day period.
