Our Special Needs adoption fee applies to cats who require ongoing medical care or specialized accommodations. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • FIV+
  • FeLV+
  • Blind or visually impaired
  • Special dietary needs
  • Cerebellar hypoplasia
  • Neurological disabilities
  • Cats requiring diapers
  • Cats requiring bladder or bowel expression

Every one of these cats deserves a loving forever home. Before adoption, our team will thoroughly discuss your cat’s medical history, ongoing care requirements, and answer any questions so you feel fully prepared and supported.

Our Lifetime Commitment

At Montana’s Little Cat Rescue, every adoption is a lifelong commitment. If, at any point during the cat’s life, you are no longer able to care for them, the cat must be returned to Montana’s Little Cat Rescue. We will always accept our cats back and ensure they are placed in another safe, loving home. We never want one of our cats to enter a shelter or be rehomed without our knowledge.
