Boone County Animal Care is a 501c3 non-profit animal welfare organization located in Columbia, Missouri. We are entirely foster-based organization whose passion is improving the lives of animals in our community. We provide care to kittens and cats of all ages and physical condition until they are successfully adopted into a family home. A significant focus of our group is trap, spay/neuter and release (TNR) as an effort to reduce the overpopulation of cats. This also significantly improves the overall health of the cats in the community, reduces the number of animal intakes to local shelters and, over time, will make an impact on the number of feral and uncared for pets.
Fill out a digital adoption survey. It will expedite the process for you if you fill it out once you begin considering a cat, even if you don’t know which cat, yet. Once you have completed your adoption survey, a BCAC volunteer will contact you via email. Please be patient and kind to our BCAC volunteer superheroes who work full time jobs and review these applications on the weekend. They work really hard and try to respond to applications within 1 week, but that is not always possible. If a cat already has already received multiple applications (which happens often), it can take longer to get back to you. Please wait to contact BCAC for a follow up to your application until it’s been two weeks without a response; there may have been error in contact info if more than 2 weeks pass. If you are interested in a cat at Papa’s Cat Café, you must visit the café to meet the cat(s). BCAC will not approve the adoption of any café cat unless the adopter has met the cat in its home environment at the café. Adoptions always go to the “best fit home,” not the order submitted. BCAC has final determination on all adoption approvals, and if they feel the cat you would like is not the best fit, they will work to help you find the feline who best matches your needs. Remember, it’s about helping connect people and cats – we want you to find a fantastic feline, and we want the cats to live long and happy lives, too. Once your survey is approved and you are matched with the “best fit” cat, BCAC will arrange your adoption. Approved adoptions usually take place Friday - Sunday at PetSmart. Times will be arranged between you and the BCAC volunteer.
