How adoption works

We want every adoption to last a lifetime. Here is what to expect, what is included, and what it costs.

The process

Four steps to a new best friend

1
Think it through
Adopting is a 10-15 year commitment. Consider your lifestyle, budget, travel, kids, other pets, and whether everyone at home is on board.
2
Apply online
Fill out our adoption application. It helps us understand your home so we can find the right match.
3
Screening & vet check
We conduct thorough screenings and veterinary checks. We are committed to finding the best homes for our animals.
4
Meet & go home
Once approved, we set up a meet and finalize the adoption. Your new best friend goes home with you.

For cat adopters

Cats have their own needs and rhythms. A little prep makes the transition smoother for everyone.

All of our cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for their age, and vet-checked before adoption.
Transport cats come with a carrier so the trip home is safe and low-stress.
Give a new cat a quiet room to decompress for the first days before opening up the whole house.
Bonded pairs stay together. Two cats often settle in faster and keep each other company.
