Welcome to the
Pat Brody Shelter for Cats

ADOPTION INFORMATION

We have a tremendous selection of cats and kittens of all shapes, sizes and breeds.  You are certain to find the kitty who is purrfect for you at the shelter.  Kittens under the age of 4 months must be adopted in pairs.

All of our cats/kittens are fixed, tested for FeLV/FIV, wormed, treated with Advantage so that our shelter remains flea free, receive rabies and distemper shots and are treated for ear mites, if necessary.

If you have an interest in adopting from our shelter then please read our Adoption Policies.  If you agree with the policies, click here to fill out our online adoption form to get the process started.

Once we receive your adoption form, our procedure is to confirm your references and then contact you to set up a convenient appointment time and date.  We usually are available Monday thru Friday, 12 noon to 3 p.m., Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. and Saturday afternoons beginning at 1 p.m. All adoptions are by appointment only.  Due to our all volunteer status, we are unable to have 'open viewing hours'.  

We always respond first to the people who fill out the online adoption form. The comment section on the form is the place to put your individual questions and any specific preferences Our adoption fee is $85.00-$125.00 for mixed breed cats and kittens and between $125-$150 for exotics/purebred. 

The web site does not give out exact directions to the shelter, just an area map.  When we set up our adoption time with you, we will email you specific directions to the shelter.

CAT OF THE MONTH - JEREMIAH

I'm a sweetheart of a boy.  When I'm in a home, I'll leave your furniture alone and I love to sleep on carpeted stairs.  I just love attention and will follow you around so you don't forget to pet me. I don't mind being around other cats one bit.

Shelter Expansion Update

Thanks to you we have completed all the inside walls of the expansion section, the HVAC system is now complete and we are in the final phase of construction and are now saving funds to complete the flooring and the final trim work. After that the counters, sinks cabinets and all the things necessary to open up the isolation room will be next. If you can make a donation of any amount, it will be greatly appreciated! 

WHAT'S NEW!

Bootstrap Bill is Adopted!!

Everyone at the Pat Brody Shelter is celebrating the adoption of Bootstrap Bill. He came to us with 4 legs, but only 3 paws. We will never know the cause of his injury (animal trap?) or how long he had been suffering, but what we did know right away is that every step Bill took was painful. Dr. Schunk of Hillsborough County Vet Hospital removed Bill's injured leg. Bill blossomed without that leg. With practice, he became really good at running and jumping. He learned that the shelter was a safe place where he was loved. An angel by the name of Lily Russo decided that it was her destiny to adopt Bill. She came to meet him with her daughter and great-grandchildren Timmy and Colby. It was love at first sight.  Bill, now renamed Mat the Cat, has finally found his forever home.  Thanks again Lily!
