CNY SNAP, a 100% volunteer-run organization, operates a cat and kitten adoption program at our Cortland shelter and the PetSmart in DeWitt. Consider adopting today and making a lifelong difference.
Application Process
All adoption applications are reviewed to help match our cats with their forever families. The process includes completing an application and having a conversation with our adoption coordinator. We also require a veterinarian reference and three personal references.

Adopting Kittens in Pairs
At CNY SNAP, we require young kittens go to their forever homes in pairs, unless you already have a playful kitten or a young cat at home. Our goal is to make sure the kittens we rescue and nurture are adopted into homes that provide the best environment for their behavioral and social development. It’s not about boosting our adoption numbers; it’s about ensuring each kitten finds a home where they can thrive with another young feline friend/companion. Most rescue groups have similar policies.
