Rockford, Ill. – Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary is responding to crowded kennels and high demand for foster homes with a new cat‑adoption promotion aimed at helping local families welcome feline companions.
Special pricing to ease space constraints
The sanctuary’s “Fall in Love With a Feline” special reduces adoption fees to $30.11 for kittens and $11 for adult cats. Adopt one kitten and a second kitten can be added for just $11 more, making it an affordable way for residents to add a pet to their household.
Staff explain the need
“We are always at capacity,” said Katlyn Ramirez, a Kennel Technician at Noah’s Ark. “Every single one of our kennels at the shelter is filled.” When the shelter cannot accommodate additional animals, staff often refer families to other facilities or suggest fostering as an alternative.
Foster opportunities available
Noah’s Ark offers a range of foster options, from overnight stays to longer‑term arrangements. Foster families receive food, bedding, and necessary medical care for the animals in their care. Interested residents can complete an application online or in person; the form asks about housing conditions and whether the applicant already has pets.
Facility expansion underway
To address the growing need, the sanctuary is adding a new cat room with additional kennels. This expansion will increase the shelter’s capacity for both permanent adoptions and foster placements.
How to get involved
Community members who wish to adopt or foster can visit the sanctuary’s website or stop by the Rockford location during business hours. The staff encourages anyone with space in their home and a love for animals to consider giving a cat a safe, permanent home.
By offering reduced fees and expanding its facilities, Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary hopes to alleviate overcrowding, provide more animals with loving homes, and strengthen the bond between Rockford families and their new feline companions.
