Columbia Green Humane Society Waives Cat Adoption Fees Monday

Albany Schenectady Troy, NY, October 18, 2026 —

The Columbia Green Humane Society in Catskill is waiving adoption fees for cats and kittens on Monday, as the organization seeks homes for animals connected to an animal cruelty investigation.

The initiative supports 42 animals rescued as part of the investigation. Many of the animals require medical treatment, according to the information provided, and are seeking new homes. The announcement does not specify how many of the 42 animals are cats or kittens, or whether every animal is eligible for adoption during the fee waiver.

The society’s name and location were provided as Columbia Green Humane Society in Catskill. The specific date for Monday was not provided, so the timing of the fee waiver cannot be stated more precisely. The information also does not identify the agency or authorities involved in the cruelty investigation, describe the circumstances of the rescue, or provide details about the animals’ conditions or treatment.

Details about the adoption process, any eligibility requirements, and whether the fee waiver applies to all cats and kittens were not provided. The organization’s announcement, as described, centers on finding homes for the animals while many require medical care. No information was provided about how long that care may take, the number of animals already placed, or what will happen to those still seeking homes after Monday.

The initiative links the fee waiver with the effort to support the rescued animals. Further details about the investigation and the animals’ individual adoption status were not included in the information available.
