Adoption Process

If you see a kitty you would like to adopt, this is how it's done.

1. Submit application. The application is not a commitment. If you meet the cat or kitten and decide the cat is not a good fit, you are not obligated to adopt the kitty. 

2. Application Approval: Our adoption counselors carefully consider each cat's needs and aim to ensure that our cats are placed in homes where they will most easily adapt and settle in. If a cat is not a good fit for your home, please know that it is not you. It may be because the cat does not get along with dogs, it is not comfortable around small children, or it might be a special needs cat with its own set of requirements. These are things that are determined when the cats are in their foster homes. We appreciate your interest in adopting our cat(s) and thank you for your understanding. 

For online applications: Once your application is reviewed, an adoption counselor will contact you.

For same day adoptions at our adoption events: If we can't verify the information on your application, we reserve the right to hold the cat until we can verify that information. 

3. Meet the pet: Your application has been approved and a meet-and-greet is arranged to confirm that you and the cat are happy with each other. This is when you can decide that another cat might be more compatible with your family.

4. Interview: This is where the counselor will talk to you about the questions you answered on the application.

5. Sign adoption contract.

6. Pay fee.

7. Congratulations! You may now take your new kitty home.
