Adopt A Cat
What Is Feline-ality™?
Have we gone nuts? Nope, we’re just getting super-scientific, thanks to Feline-ality, a research-based assessment of a cat’s behavior and interests that matches adopter preferences with an animal’s behavior. And the cool thing is that it works great—shelters testing the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match Program (Feline-ality is a part of Meet Your Match) found a 40- to 45-percent increase in adoptions and a 45- to 50-percent decrease in returns and euthanasia. Amazing stats!
How Does Feline-ality work?
Let’s say you are looking to find the cat of your dreams. When you come to our Shelter you’ll be asked to fill out a one-page Cat Adopter Survey—19 questions about your lifestyle and how you envision your cat fitting in to this lifestyle. Sound kinda fun? It is—think magazine quiz, not college application.
Your results will tell the shelter what your “color” is—green, orange or purple.
P.S. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the kitties in the shelter know their true colors, too—so purple people meet purple felines, and then decide if they’re ready to paint the town…well, purple!

So what’s a lean green kitty machine like?
Cat Adoption Policies
Occasionally, we get the comments like "These are animals needing homes, so why does it cost to adopt one?" While these animals are homeless, we don't just get an animal in the shelter and put it right on the adoption floor. The Kearney Area Humane Society wants to make sure the felines adopted from this facility are healthy, happy and behaviorally sound before they go to their new home. Our adoption fees help to pay for feeding, housing, medical care and evaluation for the cats and kittens that come through our door each day. We do our best to keep adoption costs at a realistic level and still generate income to support our animals and programs.

*Very Important Pets
Some of the animals in our shelter are V.I.P.’s — dogs and cats that are in high demand for adoption and quickly find a loving home. V.I.P.’s have a higher adoption fee. The extra money will leave a financial legacy for other animals who may need extensive medical care or more time to find a loving home.
