Adoption

Long-haired kitten

See the cats we have available for adoption, learn about our adoption process, and find out how to make your cat adoption go more smoothly.

Adopting a new furry companion is a big commitment. Cats live for 12-18 years. Some cats love having kids, other cats, and even dogs to play with. Others prefer quieter homes. If you’re ready to bring a new cat or kitten into your home, we are sure that we can find the right one for you.

​

The first step is for you to look at who we have available. Read about them and think about whether they might make a good companion for you.

​

Next, download our adoption form and email it back to us. It may seem like we ask for a lot of information, but over the years, we’ve honed our process to ensure that most of our placements are successful and become forever homes for our rescues.

​

After you complete and return the adoption form, someone will be in touch with you about your application. It may take 48-72 hours before you hear from us, because we are an all-volunteer organization. If for some reason, we don’t have a cat that suits your situation, we’ll keep your application on file and reach out to you when we do.
