About Adopting
We charge a $75 adoption fee which helps to offset the cost of care, veterinary care, first set of vaccinations and treatment with Revolution for fleas, ticks, most worms, and ear mites.

To be eligible to serve on the board, you must have been a paid member prior to May 31, 2023.
Increase to adoption fees
Due to price increases in vet care, pet food and supplies over the past several months, the KCH team has made the tough decision to increase the adoption fee to $75 per kitten.
This is the first increase to the adoption fee since KCH established itself in 2015. The new fee of $75, which includes the kitten’s first set of vaccinations and treatment with Revolution for fleas, ticks, most worms and ear mites, is still lower than what it would cost for a kitten to receive these services at a veterinary appointment.
The KCH team continues to prioritize the health of the kittens it rescues and we thank you so much for your understanding and support.
NEW FOSTER HOMES AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!
It’s almost kitten season again and we are looking to expand our pool of amazing foster homes. If interested, please send an email to Lori at keepingcatshomed@gmail.com. Please include as much information as possible about yourself, the other residents in your home (including pets), your experience with kittens/cats, your community, your ability to transport, phone number etc. The more information the better. If you have applied to foster in the past, please email again, to be sure your previous application is not missed. We are hoping to find foster families that live in the Summerside area, or are available to transport to/from Summerside.
As always, we continue to accept names for other volunteers interested in helping with transport, fundraising, administrative tasks etc.
We look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
