Mountain Cats TNR, a 501c3 non-profit under Shannondale & Beyond Inc., was started with the mission to help curb the cat population using trap-neuter-return (TNR). Since then, we have successfully spay/neutered over 1500 cats in Jefferson County, WV.
Submitting your application online is the quickest way to begin the application process. There is no charge to submit an application for adoption. Be as thorough as you can when completing the application. This helps the process go more quickly. Please contact your references (including your veterinarian, if applicable) and let them know you’re listing them as references on your application. This enables us to work more quickly. Verification of home ownership or landlord approval - if you rent your home, you must provide written permission (on your landlords letterhead stationary) to have a cat. This can be scanned and emailed to Mountaincatstnr@hotmail.com. Verification with your veterinarian (if applicable) that your pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, have had annual exams, and have received appropriate care. If you have cats, we verify that they are up to date on their state-mandated rabies vaccination. Phone conversations with the personal references listed on your application. After this review process is complete, we will contact you to schedule a home visit if necessary. Once you meet the cat that is the perfect fit for you and your family, the cat’s foster will review the Adoption Contract with you (and any co-applicants) and have you sign or initial the appropriate sections. The adoption fee is $75 with microchip, payable by cash, check, or via PayPal. This fee is due at the time of adoption. You will receive a copy of the cat’s rabies certificate and any other vetting paperwork, as well as a copy of the signed Adoption Contract, at the time of adoption if possible, or within two weeks of adoption.
