Adoption Applications

Our Adoption Process:

  • Applications are available online and also at PETCO in Whitehall, PA.
  • Applications should be filled out completely and emailed back to [email protected]. They can also be dropped off in person at our adoption day on Saturday from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at PETCO in Whitehall, PA.
  • Adopters can apply for a specific animal with an application or fill out an application in advance and then work with the foster homes to find a suitable match.
  • Once applications are approved (5-7 days), a suitable home has been agreed upon between the adopter and the foster home, all cats/kittens must be transported in a carrier.
  • The adoption cost for cats is $175 (starting January 2026), which includes all medical procedures already completed at the time of adoption and the spay/neuter procedure. All additional vaccinations, e-collar, microchipping, etc. will be at the cost of the adopter. All spay/neuters included in the fee will be done by Rush Veterinary Center in Tamaqua, PA. Any changes to the adoption fee of $175 are approved by SOAR’s director only.
  • Dog adoption fees vary per animal.
