Gift-a-Pet Program
The ASPCA Adoption Center is offering a unique opportunity for pet lovers. Know someone who would make a great pet parent? Has your loved one been thinking about adding a cat or kitten to his or her home? Now you can give the gift of companionship with our Gift-a-Pet Certificate.
The Gift-a-Pet Certificate allows you to pay the adoption fee of a cat or kitten for the giftee of your choice. The fee for an adult cat is $75, $125 for one kitten or $150 for two kittens. The recipient of the certificate may then come to our 92nd Street Shelter and, contingent on application approval, select a cat or kitten to take home.
Are they really ready?
Adopting a companion animal is a big commitment. Answer these questions to see how much you really know about the person you are considering giving a gift of companionship.
1. Has your friend or loved one expressed interest in adopting a cat or kitten?
2. Does this person or any members of the household have allergies to cats?
3. Is this person aware of the responsibility and care associated with being the guardian of a cat or kitten? Is he or she aware that a cat can live for 15-20 years?
4. Would you feel comfortable if this person gave you such a significant gift?
5. Is your friend ready to deal with the late-night crazies and other high-energy antics of a kitten? Would an older cat be more appropriate?
6. Will he or she be bothered by having hair on everything from clothes to toast?
7. Is he or she aware that cats need to scratch and they will need appropriate surfaces such as scratching pads and posts to avoid having them scratch furniture or curtains?
8. Do you know if your friend’s landlord allows pets? Will everyone in the household be as happy to receive a new cat or kitten?
9. Are there other pets in the home? Will the current pets be pleased with a new addition?
10. Does this person understand the financial responsibility of caring for a cat or kitten? (cost of food, vet visits, toys, etc.)
11. Are there children in the household? How old are they? Consider that a rambunctious kitten may not be a suitable pet for an infant or toddler.
12. Is the cat or kitten a gift for a child? Getting a pet to teach a child responsibility is not a good idea, as the animal may be harmed if the child fails to take care of it.

Gift-a-Pet Program
The ASPCA Adoption Center is offering a unique opportunity for pet lovers. Know someone who would make a great pet parent? Has your loved one been thinking about adding a cat or kitten to his or her home? Now you can give the gift of companionship with our Gift-a-Pet Certificate.
The Gift-a-Pet Certificate allows you to pay the adoption fee of a cat or kitten for the giftee of your choice. The fee for an adult cat is $75, $125 for one kitten or $150 for two kittens. The recipient of the certificate may then come to our 92nd Street Shelter and, contingent on application approval, select a cat or kitten to take home.
Are they really ready?
Adopting a companion animal is a big commitment. Answer these questions to see how much you really know about the person you are considering giving a gift of companionship.
1. Has your friend or loved one expressed interest in adopting a cat or kitten?
2. Does this person or any members of the household have allergies to cats?
3. Is this person aware of the responsibility and care associated with being the guardian of a cat or kitten? Is he or she aware that a cat can live for 15-20 years?
4. Would you feel comfortable if this person gave you such a significant gift?
5. Is your friend ready to deal with the late-night crazies and other high-energy antics of a kitten? Would an older cat be more appropriate?
6. Will he or she be bothered by having hair on everything from clothes to toast?
7. Is he or she aware that cats need to scratch and they will need appropriate surfaces such as scratching pads and posts to avoid having them scratch furniture or curtains?
8. Do you know if your friend’s landlord allows pets? Will everyone in the household be as happy to receive a new cat or kitten?
9. Are there other pets in the home? Will the current pets be pleased with a new addition?
10. Does this person understand the financial responsibility of caring for a cat or kitten? (cost of food, vet visits, toys, etc.)
11. Are there children in the household? How old are they? Consider that a rambunctious kitten may not be a suitable pet for an infant or toddler.
12. Is the cat or kitten a gift for a child? Getting a pet to teach a child responsibility is not a good idea, as the animal may be harmed if the child fails to take care of it.

Hey, cool topic! Wish I could adopt from them-but I don't have the resources.
