General medical treatment given to our animals:

  • All dogs and cats, already spayed/neutered.
  • Puppies receive their first set of shots, but need more as do kittens.
  • General health and behavior screening.
  • Cats are tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV.
  • Cats are given age-appropriate FVRCP and Rabies vaccines.
  • Cats are dewormed*however we always recommend you take a fecal sample to your first vet appointment for additional screening.
  • Cats are treated for fleas, ticks and ear mites*
  • Continuing support if you have questions about your pet.
  • A lifetime companion.
  • The satisfaction of knowing you have saved a life!

* Ear mites, worms and intestinal parasites are common in kittens and cats and may take extended time to eradicate, post adoption. We cannot guarantee that yoru new cat or kitten will be completely worm/parasite free.

Our animals are also micro-chipped in the name of Castaway Critters. We ask that you register the micro-chip, for a nominal fee, in your name upon adoption. Information will be provided on how to contact Home Again, the micro-chip vendor.

You must be 21 years old to adopt a pet from Castaway Critters.


**PLEASE NOTE: Our Mission is SPAY and NEUTER therefore we will verify that all pets in your home are spayed or neutered. Exceptions to this policy would be due to age or a medical reason supported by your veternarian. We do not adopt to breeders. 

PLEASE BE SURE YOUR CURRENT PETS ARE UP TO DATE ON VACCINES FOR THEIR  SAFETY AND FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR NEW PET!

 
Even if you do not find the new member of your family that you are seeking with us, we always encourage people to adopt from a rescue or shelter rather than a pet store. Pet stores source dogs from commercial breeders. Please educate yourself! 

We ask for your patience as we review and process your adoption application as we are an all-volunteer organization. Due to the large volume of applications we receive, please allow up to two weeks to contact you, although most applicants are contacted within a few days.

Got a mouse in the house...
                    or a bunch in the barn?

 We have barn, feral, and stray cats who don't adapt well to life inside the home, but still need safe, permanent barn homes where they can be employed as mousers. Barn cats require an application but no adoption fee is required. As always, your donations are gratefully accepted and are tax-deductible.

 Phone our adoption hotline at (717) 831-5010 for more information or complete an online application indicating your interest in a barn cat.
