In some circumstances you may need to take the kitten to your own veterinarian to complete the required vaccinations at your expense.

The adoption fee is $250.00 per kitten. When your kitten is ready to come home, he or she will be altered, microchipped, and have had at least their first FVRCP vaccine.As kittens become available to be adopted, pre-approved adopters are invited to QAS to meet kittens based on the date they submitted their application (vs. You will be contacted by an Adoption Representative and once approved, you are added to our pre-approved kitten adoption list.

Please be patient you may not hear from anyone immediately and maybe asked to fill out and application, we tend to process a lot of applications at once. You can email our Kitten Coordinator or Adoption Manager, to see if we are accepting applications. Although it varies each year, starting around May/June our adoption team begins accepting applications to adopt a kitten.Keeping kittens out of the Shelter also protects them from catching airborne illnesses that might not affect an older cat but could be life threatening to a young kitten. All kittens are kept in QAS approved foster homes. This allows our kittens to be safe and learn what it is like to live in a home and learn important socialization skills from either their own mom or from their human foster care mom.At approximately 10-12 weeks of age the kittens are given a routine physical examination by a licensed veterinarian and are scheduled to be spayed/neutered and micro-chipped. The kittens will then go into a foster home to be socialized and nurtured.

When a kitten comes into QAS, they are checked out by our medical team who, depending upon the kitten’s age, may give them a deworming medication, a flea preventative and an initial FVRCP vaccination.

Here’s how you and your family can adopt an adorable kitten from QAS (when we have them!) Please email with any questions.
