All animals at Petsmart are from a shelter in your local area. Some are rescue groups, some are not. The two places that provide animals at my local petsmart are humane societies in my area. Also, they aren't always animals "on their last chance". Many of the animals I saw had listed on their charts that they recently came into the shelter that was 'lending' them to petsmart. Sometimes the shelters simply have no room at the moment, so they put them at petsmart rather than euthanizing for space.
They are technically the property of that local shelter and are only at petsmart in order to get more exposure from people in the area who wouldn't normally go to the shelter itself.
You tell a petsmart employee that you want to adopt a certain animal and they will give you the paperwork for the particular shelter the animal is from. The paperwork is than faxed to the shelter. I believe then the shelter gets in touch with you and you're either approved or not approved. And it goes from there.
The petsmart employees having nothing to do with the adoption other than to give you the forms. They are the middlemen, so to speak.

most chain pet stores allow humane groupe or rescues to display cats. if it is a "humane society" these cats are "on their way out", death sentence, last chance. most of the times. however, they tend to put, in the afore mentioned group, the most friendly and "adoptable" cats there.
usually they cost around $100 to adopt, some spayed/nuetured/shots, less if not. if not, you will have to and prove you do, you might get a refund for some of the adoption fee after you vet.
most of the time the store will give you info about who to contact to adopt.
good luck and enjoy your new friend!

those are from rescue groups and they are really picky about who can take home a cat, and expensive. Your so much better off to go to the animal shelter or humane society and adopting one from there. Most shelters cannot deny you a cat, and you will get a lot with it for a low price. just search the web for the shelter closest to you..
dont breed or buy while shelter pets die..
