Monthly business sponsorship rates are $300/ 150/75/35 for a full-page/half-page/quarter-page/business card ad in color, and $200/100/50/25 for grayscale ads. A one year subscription is $25. ADOPTION CRITERIA Each organization in Critter has its own adoption criteria. All organizations require an adoption contract and a fee to recoup basic expenses. All will require that your adoptee be a pet, not merely a utility animal for protection or hunting. Most will ensure that the animals are spayed or neutered at the time of adoption; those that don’t will require a spay/neuter contract and a deposit that will be refunded upon proof of spay or neuter. Most will want to visit your home and see where the pet will live. Because many of these animals have not been well treated in the past, extra care is taken to ensure their safety and happiness in the future.

They were Sirena is a declawed 2 year old girl infested with fleas, and their ears were filled Peaches is an affectionate 1 year old girl. who likes other cats and dogs. with grit and grime. Our only choice was to bathe them, during which they welcomed the warm water and affection as the filth just poured off. They began to purr as we washed them down, as to say ‘thank you.’ They are now soft and clean. We applied a flea preventative, cleaned their ears, and wormed them. We could feel every bone in their body as we continued to dry them off...and they continued to purr. These precious cats were sincerely desperate for love and affection. We put down bowls of food and fresh water (which we still refill twice a day)..and they began to gobble down the grub like they had not been fed in weeks. After only a few hours of adjustment and building trust they began to come out from the shadows and allow us to love on them again. Today, they are the most genuinely appreciative and affectionate cats I have worked with. They run up to you the moment we walk in the room, calling for attention, purring as loud as they can.” Lola Miss Olivia loves being inside and having regular meals and a soft bed.
