OUR ADOPTION PROCESS

See an animal you are interested in? Click on their name to read any info that we may have on them. Simply come on in anytime during our open hours to view our adoptable animals. All adoptions are first-come, first-serve and we are unable to place holds.

easy to apply

Adoption applications can be downloaded from our website and then emailed or brought in, or you can fill an application out in person at the shelter.

Step 1: Fill out our adoption application

Our adoption application process is thorough because we want our cats to go to loving homes for the rest of their lives and to help adopters find their perfect cat match.

Step 2:  Our paw-mazing Adoption Coordinator will process your application and contact you

  • You will be contacted by phone or email
  • The time it takes to process an application varies, but most adopters will be contacted within the week (so please try to be patient)
  • When you are contacted, you will have an opportunity to schedule your visit to the shelter.

Step 3: Come to your adoption appointment

  • Arrive at our Sanctuary on your scheduled day during your scheduled time. You will then have the opportunity to spend some time with the cats
  • Choose your new family member(s)…or let them choose you! Once your cat(s) choose you, please let staff know.

Step 4: Take your cat(s) home!

  • Before going home your new cat will be: spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped.
  • You will leave the shelter with: the adoption contract, A list of our recommended veterinarians. Your cat(s)’s rabies certificate (if they were vaccinated at our shelter most recently.) Any other info about our shelter and cat behavior in general.
  • AND Your new best friend(s)!

 

Step 5: We often call new adopters to check in and see how you and your new cat(s) are adjusting. If you do not get a follow-up call, please feel free to call us at any time to ask questions or get advice.
