The adoption fee is $100 for a kitten or cat up to two years old.. Cats between two and 10 years old have a fee reduction to $80, and we will waive the adoption fee for any cat over 10 years old

If you adopt a puppy or kitten, depending on the animal’s age, the FVRCP vaccine series or 6in 1 series may or may not be complete. If The vaccine series is not yet complete at the time of adoption, it will be the adopter’s responsibility to complete the series.

Our adoption fees do not generally begin to cover the average cost of our animals. We always provide any necessary medical care for each animal. Our rescue also serves as a sanctuary to 70% of our animals that will likely be with us for the duration of their lives. 

Once you’ve adopted a new pet into your family, all veterinary expenses are your responsibility for the life of your pet.

Our Adoption Process

To help ensure that we place our animals in loving, responsible, committed homes, we have an adoption application, home visit and septic contract. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary.

First, we ask that you complete our Adoption Application. You are welcome to text us first at 661-839-2200 to see if the animal you’re interested in is still available before submitting an application. Please be patient while waiting for your response as we receive lots of messages a day. 

Our Return Policy

If for any reason you wish or need to return an animal you’ve adopted from us we will take this animal back at any time. 

A Lifetime Commitment

Animals are for life. When you adopt an animal, it is a commitment you make to the animal, for the lifetime of that animal. We’re always here to answer questions and help solve problems. By adopting a cat or dog from CEAR  you’re making a commitment to provide love, care, and medical treatment for the life of the animal, which can be up to 20 years. Adopting a cat or dog is a serious commitment, but one that is incredibly rewarding.
