Due to the rising costs of veterinary care, ARFP is increasing its feline adoption fee to $150 on September 1, 2025.
The adoption fee covers the cost of FVCRP vaccines, deworming, rabies vaccine, and spaying/neutering.
Any feline adoption currently in progress on September 1, 2025 will still pay $100, even if the adoption is finalized after the fee increase. An in progress application is one that has been submitted and screened.
We’ve received word that scammers are using a Venmo account using a similar name and profile picture. If you receive a request to donate money (so far they’ve requested money for spay/neuters but can use different ploys) verify the sender. Here are important differences.
If you’ve received a request from the scam account:
The Next Step Adoption Center will be closed from December 22, 2025, until January 3, 2025. Our next fair will be January 4, 2025 from 9am-noon.
If you’re interested in adopting a pet between now and then, fill out a no-obligation adoption application and one of our volunteers will be in touch. It might be possible to work out a one-on-one meet and greet.
The Next Step Adoption Center will be open this Sunday from 1pm to 4pm for a cat-only Adoption event! Come by and get your kitty scratches in!
The ARFP Next Step Adoption Center will be closed this Saturday, March 30, 2024, so our volunteers can spend Easter weekend with their families.

In the meantime, you can check out our adoptable dogs and cats here on our website.
ARFP’s focus is kittens and puppies 12 weeks of age and younger. If you find a kitten or puppy in need of rescue please email savapup2@aol.com. Make sure to include pictures and as much information as possible about the animals.
Alternatively, call 336-574-9600 and leave a message on the RESCUE line.
ARFP operates on a foster-home model. Kittens and puppies are placed in foster homes for care and socialization. Foster homes are limited in number, so we can only help as many animals as we have available foster homes.
The ARFP Next Step Adoption Center will be closed for the holidays from December 20, 2018 through January 1, 2019.
But Ramona says not to worry! She and all the other ARFP kitties and puppies will be back starting Wednesday, January 2, 2019, so you can meet them — and they can find their forever homes.
Have a wonderful holiday and a very happy New Year!
