Adoption of Cats

Adoption - Why, How and From Whom

ADOPTION is what keeps the rescue effort moving. Few people realize what a huge, often dramatic, effort is being made to rescue cats in this city. Or what it means to these cats to be given the chance for a better life. Below is information about adoption services run by some of the groups/organizations that are actively involved in this local rescue effort. ADOPTING from one of these services is a heartwarming way to play a role in the rescue of Hamilton cats.
