How to adopt a cat

To Adopt a cat from our Rescue, call or email the person listed after the cat's description. We will then make a time for a phone interview, application review, and will check your references.

Please be patient with us. We all work fulltime and do this as volunteer work. Occasionally, your email or phone message may get lost in the shuffle. Some of our cats think they are computer consultants and walk on the keyboard. They have been known to delete or transfer emails. If you feel you've been overlooked, please send us another message. We usually respond within 24 hours to email and 48 hours or less to phone messages. The cats always come first, so if we have new cats that require intensive care, our response time is delayed. It is our goal to have your application approved w/in 3-4 days of receiving it. Please do us a favor and let your veterinarian know that we will be calling for a reference. That will help move things along quickly.

If you can give a cat an indoor home for 15 to 20 years, we would love to have you adopt one of our cats.
