Mission: Kingdom Animal Shelter is a limited access, all volunteer, non-profit certified 501(c) (3), animal rescue organization in St Johnsbury, Vermont. Our mission is to facilitate the placement of rescued, abandoned, abused or neglected animals in safe, life-long homes. We respect the inherent value of every animal in our care and we strive to prevent overpopulation and cruelty to animals.
I applied here and was verbally approved to adopt a specific cat after jumping through their hoops for 3 weeks. I was told that the shelter could not let me adopt because it was during the corona virus, so I remained very patient. I then received an email stating that the cat had been moved to a new foster home after I had been approved, and that they would be adopting her instead. When I expressed frustration, the woman got very defensive and antagonistic. I would not recommend this shelter whatsoever.
We started a cat adoption program in 6/08 using volunteers and foster homes. We've adopted out close to 100 cats and kittens. We hold reduced-fee spay/neuter clinics during the year. We have also aided people who have needed some temporary assistance to care for their own or found cats/kittens. We are in the process of opening our own cat adoption center to continue our work with our Kingdom Kats adoption program.
