Our Adoption Process
We are so happy you are considering adding a cat to your family. We have a thorough application process to ensure our cats are placed in the best homes for their individual needs.
Most of our cats are in foster homes, which is a great way for them to be socialized and transition more easily into a new home. For any of our cats in foster homes in private residences, we require an application to be filled out prior to scheduling a meeting. For our cats located in Petsmart in Commack, appointments for meetings can be made prior to filling out an application.
We require veterinarian references to establish a history of care for your current and previous pets. It's best to list all the veterinarians you have used, to get a more complete picture. We will also require two personal references that are not family. If there is no veterinary reference, we require 3 personal references.
After we process your application, the next step is a home visit. It's best if all members of the household are present. We will find a time that is mutually agreeable for the visit.
If you are approved after these steps, you have two options:
1: Adoption
or
2: Foster with Intent to Adopt
What is Foster with Intent to Adopt? This option is great choice if you're unsure how the new kitty will fit into your household. It's a trial period of approximately 30 days, but it can be less or more depending on circumstances. After the trial period you can choose to move forward with the adoption or return the cat to us. There is also the possibility to switch cats if you think a different personality may be a better fit. Our goal is matching you to the best cat for your household.

If you have a friend or family member who would like to adopt your cat, they must go through our adoption process. No further adoption fee would apply.
