Adopt

Submit a detailed application below to begin the process and help us find the right cat for you.

Submitting an application for a specific cat lets us know who you're interested in, but it does not place that cat on hold. Please complete your application thoroughly. We reserve the right to deny any application at any time during the adoption process.

FAQs About Adoption

Have questions? We’ve got answers.

Can I adopt or place a hold without an appointment?

Yes! Walk-in are welcome during our open hours.

How do holds work?

Holds can only be placed during your scheduled adoption appointment and are valid for 48 hours. A $20 nonrefundable hold fee is applied toward your adoption fee and can be transferred to another cat if needed. Submitting an application does not place a cat on hold, so we recommend checking our website before your appointment to see if your preferred cat is still available. If not, we'll help you find another great match.

If I apply for a specific cat, will they still be available?

Not always. Cats are adopted on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability can change quickly. Submitting an application for a specific cat lets us know who you're interested in, but it does not reserve or place that cat on hold. If your first choice has already found a home, our adoption team will help you find another cat that fits your home and lifestyle.
