Cats

Cat Adoption Process

  • Meet and fall in love with your future four-legged family member at one of our adoption centers or off-site locations.
  • All household members must be in agreement on adopting a pet. We encourage all household members to meet the pet prior to adoption.
  • If all household members are in agreement, an application is filled out by the potential adopter.
  • The adoption process takes at least 90 minutes. This gives you and the pet time to meet, bond, make a well thought decision, review and sign paperwork and the adoption counseling process. If you are considering adopting, you need to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to closing.
  • All cats must leave in a cat carrier, so bring one with you or you can purchase one here for $15.
