Adoption Promotions
Our Seniors for Seniors program enables people age 60 and up to adopt pets age 5 and up free of charge, thanks to the generous support of the Pets for the Elderly Foundation.
Of course, most pets at age 5 (like most humans at age 60!) are hardly over the hill; on the contrary, they’re just hitting their stride, and the Seniors for Seniors program—besides offering financial assistance to our more experienced adopters—gives an extra boost to the terrific middle-aged cats and dogs, who are sometimes overlooked by shelter visitors.
Pets for Veterans
We offer fee-waived adoptions and vaccines for all active duty and retired military personnel. Adopters must show military ID at time of adoption to qualify. Pets for Veterans benefit is not transferrable to other parties. Adopter with military ID must be the person finalizing adoption paperwork and signing adoption agreement. Some restrictions may apply.
Featured Events
CatCon Worldwide
Cat lovers, mark your calendars: CatCon 2025 returns to the Pasadena Convention Center on August 2–3 for a weekend of feline fun, community, and celebration. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the beloved event, which has become a must-attend for cat enthusiasts nationwide.
Pasadena Humane has been named the official charity beneficiary and will once again run the fan-favorite Adoption Village, where nearly 200 kittens found homes in 2024. Organizers hope to surpass that number this year, with all adopted kittens coming spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and sent home with starter kits.
