Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting a shelter cat!
The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an application using the Adoption Questionnaire on our website. It's free to complete and non-binding. Once you've been approved, you will remain an active approved adopter in our system for three months. All of our adoptions fees and available cats can be found on our website as well under the “Adopt” tab.
Approved adopters can schedule a private appointment to visit the shelter. Our open adoption hours are suspended indefinitely due to the current public health crisis
