What to Know Before you Adopt

We work hard to find the best matches between adopters and cats. If you're looking to adopt, please read the following to make sure you have everything in place before you meet with our adoption team.

Requirements

• Applicants must be 18 years or older with valid drivers license or state issued ID
• Must first complete an application online or in-person
• We need to see landlord approval or receive permission for our adoption team to contact landlord to verify
• Pets at home must be up to date on vet care, including spayed or neutered

Also Note

We operate on a first come, first served basis to help make sure cats don't miss a chance to find their forever homes.

We can only put cats on hold after applicants have completed adoption counseling. Due to COVID-19, adoption counseling is by phone only. Once counseling is completed, we can place cats on hold for 24 hours . Read more below on the new process to maintain social distancing.

Due to COVID-19, adoptions are by appointment only.

Please read more about our procedures below.

1. Apply online via the button below.

2. We will call you to do adoption counseling by phone. It's okay if you aren't sure which cat you'd like to adopt yet!

3. Once your application is processed by phone, we'll schedule a time for you to come in and meet the cat you'd like to adopt. There are two options for coming in to meet the cats. Masks are required for unvaccinated guests.

Option 1: Airlock Meet and Greet
One on one appointment with up to 3 cats in our "airlock space". The airlock is a small room between our coffee bar and cat lounge to keep any cats from getting out of the cat lounge. As this is a small space, we can only fit 2 household members. There is no cost. Appointments are limited based on available staff.

Option 2: Cat Lounge Visit
Meet all of the adoptable cats in a relaxed setting. Cat lounge reservations are one hour long. The reservation cost is $10/person (or $5 if you are a member!) and tables are spaced at least 6' apart with barriers in between groups. To read more about our COVID safety procedures, click here. Appointments are available 7 days per week from 10am - 4pm. Click here to book a Cat Lounge visit.
