Can PetSmart take my unvaccinated kitten? How do I get him back?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Petsmart took away my Kitten because he wasn't vaccinated when i took him to the vet. I was obviously planning to get him vaccinated but i just didnt have the time or money at the moment. Ive only had him for two weeks and dont want him to be gone so soon from me, I really truly care about him. Is petsmart allowed to take my kitten away like that? How can I get him back home safely?

I'm sorry you are going through this. You should contact Petsmart management to discuss the situation and reasoning behind their actions. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't comment on the legality but you should check state and local property laws.
