Please check back the end of May.
Adopting a Cat from the Hermitage!
For a speedier adoption process, potential adopters should fill out our online adoption application. This adoption application is valid for 6 months. Our adoption process is a little more in-depth than your average cat shelter. As advocates for the welfare of ALL cats, we strive to find the best human for each cat in our care. After your application has been processed, our Adoption Coordinator, aka frontline cat advocate, will contact you. Although scheduling an appointment for your visit is not necessary, it is recommended for a speedier adoption process. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM – 5 PM.
You are always welcome to drop by and meet the kittens during open hours, but same-day adoptions are not guaranteed without a pre-approved application. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 5 PM. Please check the website events calendar for holiday closings.
Adoption Fees
Kittens: $150 (2 for $250)
Adults (1-9 years): $80 (2 for $130)
FeLV+: $25
Seniors (10+)/Special Needs: $50

Bonded cats are cats that have a strong relationship with each other. They often groom, sleep, and play together. We look for some of the following signs to indicate cats may be bonded:
- Grooming: Cats groom each other, especially around the head and neck
- Sleeping: Cats sleep next to each other or on top of each other
- Playing: Cats enjoy playing together
- Sniffing: Cats sniff noses
- Rubbing: Cats rub their heads and bodies together
- Eating: Cats eat food at the same time
Benefits of bonding
Bonded cats provide each other with comfort and companionship. Many times, one cat is more outgoing while the other is timid or shy. Keeping them together allows them both to thrive.
Separating bonded cats
Separating bonded cats can be harmful to their physical and emotional well-being. Some potential ill effects include depression, liver conditions, and death.

No kittens ... yet!
The Hermitage lists only a few older kittens online. Currently we have one kitten room open.
Please note: We do NOT do holds for kittens and putting a kitten's (or cat's) name on your application does NOT guarantee you that animal.
We encourage ALL potential adopters to come to the shelter and meet all the sweet cats and kittens.
