PLACEMENT

A one-time, in-full, non-refundable fee of $6,500 (which is tax deductible) is required when placing a cat at Blue Bell. This figure is subject to change to due rising costs, and is based on a CONSERVATIVE estimate of the cost one would pay for food, medical, etc. over the lifetime of their cat.

KITTENS: We do not take in kittens.  For this reason, we do not offer any for adoption either.

STRAY CATS?  Since we are not a "traditional" funded shelter, we simply cannot take in every cat off the street, whether it is being relinquished by an owner, or found on the street (unless they are sponsored). These situations need to be handled through your local animal shelter. 

Since our main purpose is to provide permanent residency (or find homes FOR PLACED CATS) we do not offer temporary boarding services.

There is also a placement process. We suggest potential placers visit first. All placed cats must have a recent veterinary check-up with bloodwork done before being admitted. Though we do our best to accomodate applicants, placement approval depends on a variety of factors and is not guaranteed.

Cozy places to cat nap . . . That's Valentino on the left and Ginger on the right.	Three of our new residents, Pumpkin, Snowball and Keller are adjusting well!
Our 'Special Needs' residents can enjoy the beautiful Laguna Beach weather if they like.	This is the 'backyard' of our facility. Residents can roam outdoors or relax in the sun and remain fully protected.
