About this shelter

Animal Network of Orange County in Newport Beach, CA

Community Animal Network is a veterinary medical rescue dedicated to helping animals in need of new homes. The organization offers several programs: "Pets for Seniors" matches mature cats with senior individuals, providing ongoing support for the cats' veterinary needs throughout their lives. The TNR program provides consultation on trapping feral cats for the purpose of trap-neuter-return, which helps manage feral cat populations. The Veterinary Medical Internship Program is designed for aspiring veterinarians as young as 15, offering hands-on experience in administering medications and learning about feline care. The Life Program focuses on cats with treatable conditions that may hinder their adoption or participation in the "Pets for Seniors" program due to the complexity of their medical needs. Spay A Stray offers alteration services for stray cats that have been taken in by their rescuers.

Before you go

Adopting from Animal Network of Orange County

Adoption process

To begin the adoption process, please discuss the animal you are interested in over the phone and complete an application that will be emailed to you. Once your application is processed, you will be invited to meet the animal in the rescuer's or owner's home. After this visit, you will finalize the adoption agreement by signing it and paying the adoption fee. Following this, you will receive a one-hour consultation that provides essential information about pet parenting. During this consultation, you will learn about proper pet foods, how to avoid emergency situations, the best natural cat litters, and common veterinary issues, along with tips on maintaining your pet's health. If you are a renter, please ensure you have a copy of your lease that confirms pets are allowed and that you have paid any necessary deposits.
