The first step is to complete our online adoption application form through our website. This is the ONLY way to apply to adopt. Please do not email or use our social media accounts for information regarding adoptions.

Once your application is received, a team member will review it. IF your application is APPROVED, you will receive an email confirming that your application is being processed. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. We are a small team of volunteers.

At this point, the foster home or a team member will contact you to speak with you about your application. If its a good match for both you and the cat, a visit to adopt or reserve will be arranged through the foster home.

A visit does not guarantee an adoption. Should the foster home or any team member have concerns at that time, an adoption can be refused.

If successful and depending on the cat, you can adopt upon leaving the visit. For shyer cats, we will recommend you return on a later date to pick them up.

Payment must be completed prior to leaving with the cat or to reserve the cat.

Once payment is received, your contract and medical documents will be emailed to you, as well as future vetting requirements or appointments through our assigned vets.

Please note that Refuge Catchat has the right to deny an adoption for any reason.
