Adopting a cat in Fredericton

Cat adoption in the capital region runs through the Fredericton SPCA at 165 Hilton Road, which takes in strays and surrenders from Fredericton, Oromocto, and the river valley communities year-round. As with dogs, adopters must be 19 or older, the age of majority in New Brunswick.

LocalPetFinder is not a shelter. We collect the SPCA's cat listings onto one searchable page and refresh them regularly. You apply to the shelter directly, and we add nothing to the fee.

Kittens versus adult cats

Kitten season in New Brunswick stretches from late spring through fall, and the SPCA's summer intake fills with litters, often arriving with their mothers. By winter the shelter population shifts toward adults.

The honest advice: in a university town full of first-time cat owners, the adult cat is usually the better bet. Its litter habits, energy, and tolerance for company are already known, and shelter staff can match those traits to your household instead of everyone guessing how a kitten turns out.

Indoor cats and what the fee covers

Fredericton cats do best indoors. Snowy river-valley winters, spring flooding along the Wolastoq, and the wooded edges that run right into some neighbourhoods all shorten an outdoor cat's life. Indoor cats routinely live years longer, so plan window perches and climbing space, especially in a smaller apartment.

The adoption fee offsets vet work already done, generally the spay or neuter, core vaccinations, a microchip, deworming, and a health check before the cat goes home. Fees vary by the cat's age, so confirm the current amount and inclusions on the cat's own listing. Set against the retail cost of the same care, adoption is the cheap option by a wide margin.

Why adopt instead of buy

The cats at the Fredericton SPCA are local animals in need of local homes, and every adoption opens a kennel for the next stray coming in off a capital-region road.

Adoption also comes with something no classified ad has: staff who have cared for the cat daily and will tell you plainly whether it wants a lap, a hunting perch, or a quiet room away from kids. That candour is what makes shelter matches stick.
