QUESTIONS?
Do I have to have a cat in mind to apply?
No. You can be apply before you find your purrrfect match. Applications are free, there is only a fee to adopt once we match you with your forever friend.
Why does it cost money to adopt?
Our prices reflect our own cost to adopt the cats and the care and keeping of them while they are here. We purchase their food, supplies, and cover their vet care while they are in residence.
I applied but didn't get the cat I wanted - now what?
We often get multiple applications per cat. We appreciate your grace and understanding as we fit the perfect cat to their forever home. If your initial choice is no longer available, we will arrange another time for you to visit to meet our adoptable cats!
