Adoption Information

Adopting a rescue cat is incredibly rewarding. We want every cat to find the purr-fect, lifelong home, so here’s a quick checklist to make sure it’s the right time for you and your family.
Before You Adopt: Quick Checklist
  • Commitment: Ready to care for a cat for 15–20 years?
  • Costs: Ongoing food, litter, vet care (and the unexpected).
  • Time & attention: Daily play, enrichment, grooming and love.
  • Home setup: Indoor-only or secure enclosure.
  • Housing approval: If renting, have written approval.
  • Household fit: Kids/pets on board; plan slow introductions.
  • Health & desexing: Follow vet plan, microchip details updated.
  • Lifestyle changes: Travel/moves/new babies, will a cat still fit?

FAQ

Do you have any question?

Every cat leaves desexed, microchipped (transfer included), vaccinations up to date, and flea & worm treated, with a vet health check/records and post-adoption support. (Kittens not yet ready for desexing will have a booked plan.)

Typically a few days to a week depending on meet-and-greet timing and suitability. Steps: Browse → Request Meet & Greet → Application & Approval → Payment & Pick-up (a short trial may be offered case-by-case).

Often yes. We’ll help assess the match and guide slow, stress-free introductions (start with a safe room, scent-swaps, short supervised visits). Tell us about your household so we can recommend the right cat.

Yes—we adopt to indoor-only homes (or homes with a secure outdoor enclosure/catio). It keeps cats safe, protects wildlife, and helps shy/new cats settle quickly.
