Cat Adoption Geelong

Geelong adopters looking for a cat have a shorter trip than they might expect. RSPCA Victoria rehomes cats through its adoption partner centre at the Petbarn in Waurn Ponds, alongside its main Melbourne shelters, and The Lost Dogs' Home and Lort Smith both rehome cats to households across Victoria.

A rescue cat suits Geelong life well, from a unit near the waterfront to a family house in the newer estates. Many councils in Victoria set rules on keeping cats contained, so check the City of Greater Geelong's current requirements before your cat arrives, and set up a secure indoor space or a cat run if you have a garden.

Victorian rescue fees for an adult cat run $145 to $400 and kittens $235 to $400, with desexing, vaccination and microchipping included. Older cats are often reduced or free, and they tend to be calmer company for a first-time owner. Ring ahead before driving to Melbourne so the cat you have in mind is still there.
