When you adopt a cat from the Oregon Humane Society there are many responsibilities and lifestyle adjustments to consider. We will provide you with a checklist to reference after you adopt, but the following are some general points to keep in mind while making your decision. For more information on caring for your pet, visit our Pet Owner Education page.
All cats require a veterinary exam, a series of vaccinations, and regular grooming.
Cats at the Oregon Humane Society are not tested for feline leukemia. Until you schedule a visit with your veterinarian, please separate your new cat from any existing family cats. Also, keep your new cat inside. If veterinary information from a previous owner was included in your paperwork, please review it to determine if a leukemia test was administered. The sooner you have your new cat tested, the quicker she can be integrated into your household.
