Special Adoption Programs

Purr-fect Pals Program

When you adopt two cats at the same time from EHS, save 50% off on your second adoption fee. Helping you bring home your feline friends and save some scratch for more treats and toys.

Barn Buddies Program

These spayed/neutered cats are well-suited to living the acreage or farm life outdoors!

These cats are not suited to living indoors as they will not use a litter box, and/or do not like being around people due to being feral/semi-feral. To help these Barn Buddies find a home suited for them, these cats are available by a fee of your choice rather than standard adoption fees. Adopters must be able to provide food, water and shelter for their Barn Buddy.

If you would like to request a Barn Buddy cat, please complete the request form by clicking the button below and our Admitting team will be in touch.

Farm Friends Program

These spayed/neutered dogs are well-suited to living the acreage or farm life outdoors!

These dogs are not suited to living indoors as they have a known history of living outdoors and/or behaviours observed in shelter indicate that the dog would experience a decline in quality of life if they lived in a fully indoors home. To help these Farm Friends find a home suited for them, these dogs are available by a reduced fee rather than standard adoption fees. Adopters must be able to provide food, water and shelter for their Farm Friend, as well as any necessary veterinary care.

It is not advised that Farm Friends live fully indoors, but if adopters should wish to eventually transition this dog into full time indoors living, they will be required to address any concerns that may come up such as sensitivity to certain flooring, anxiety, destructive behaviours, escaping, and/or house-soiling.

If you are interested in providing a home to a Farm Friend, check out the animals available for adoption or contact our adoptions department by phone at 780-491-3500 or email adoptions@edmontonhumanesociety.com.

Cattitude Cats Program

What do you call a cat with attitude? A cattitude cat!

Some of the cats we have in our care are not as social, but will still make good house pets. To help these “grumpy cats” find loving homes, they are available for adoption at a fee of your choice. Cattitude cats are listed with all our adoptables but will say ‘Cattitude’ right in the title so they are easy to pick out.

Senior-for-Senior Program

Cats can make wonderful companions for seniors, and pet ownership has many health and stress-relieving benefits too!

To help the older felines in our care find suitable homes, adoption fees for senior cats (age 7 and up) when adopted by senior people (age 65 and up) are by a fee of your choice, instead of our standard adoption fees.
