Adoption Information

Want to know the steps of our Adoption Process?

1 - One of the first steps to take is to look at our available cats. Know what you are looking for in a new family member and see if one of our cats fits into that description. The adoption application will ask you what cat you are interested in applying for.
2 - Please fill out our online adoption application to the best of your ability. Any omitted or incomplete information may delay the processing of your application or result in your application being denied. Once you submit our online adoption, you will hear from our Adoption Coordinator or one of our Case Managers. 
3 - You will receive a phone call from your Case Manager. You may also receive an email from your Case Manager if they are unable to reach you. 
4 - Your Case Manager will conduct a telephone interview with you, your personal reference, a landlord (if applicable), and verify your listed vet reference. After the interviews, your application will be voted on for approval or denial by our rescue committee. You will be notified by your Case Manager of the voting outcome.
5 - If approved, you will be asked to submit the adoption agreement, and introduction agreement, and pay the adoption fee.  Once those items are received, arrangements can be made between you and the foster to pick the cat up.

*We ask that you keep in mind that we are an all-volunteer organization. We try our best to be professional and efficient, however, there are times that we may be unable to return an email or call immediately. Please be sure that we will communicate with you as soon as possible.*

*We do not keep a waiting list. Cats are posted for adoption and we try to work applications in the order they are received.*

Please fill out an online Adoption Application.
