APPLICATION‍ ‍
Our goal is to ensure every cat is placed in a safe, stable, & loving home where they will be cared for for life.
Our process is designed to help match each cat with the home best suited to their needs.

All prospective adopters must:
1. Complete an adoption application
2. Meet the cat in person at a Meet & Greet Event
or through Pet Store Partnership locations

Applications are:
1. Accepted weekly from Monday through Sunday
2. Reviewed & processed on the following Monday‍ ‍

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval

Typically held at Pet Store Partnership locations each weekend with these considerations:
1. Location of the Meet & Greet Events are rotated and up-to-date on our Facebook Page
2. We have Volunteers & enough available & healthy kittens to facilitate holding Meet & Greet Events.
3. Our Pet Store Partner’s space is available and does not have another event scheduled

As part of the adoption process, applicants are required to:
1. Attend a meet & greet event
2. Spend time with the cat they are interested in

These steps are a mandatory part of the matching process & allows:
Applicants to interact with the cat ask any questions
Volunteers to answer questions and ensure the right fit

Disregarding the above requirements will result in an incomplete application that will not be reviewed or processed.
Attending a Meet & Greet Event does not guarantee approval.
Final placement decisions are based on overall fit & the needs of the cat.
