Adopting from Us
We specialize in matching cats and kittens with adoptive parents based on applications and in-depth interviews to identify the kitty characteristics that will best suit the prospective owner’s desires and lifestyle.
Volunteers
Cats and kittens who are available for adoption are fostered by generous volunteers, and can be visited by appointment in their foster homes, at a monthly adoption fair or other adoption event..
Adoption Coordinators
Our Adoption Coordinator is the liaison between interested adoptive parents and foster parents.
Personality Profiles
We maintain personality profiles on the kitties in our program to better facilitate the process of matching them up with their best possible future family.
Age-appropriate Vetting
All cats and kittens have tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV and are current on age-appropriate vaccinations. All cats and kittens over five months old are spayed or neutered before adoption and are microchipped. We do adopt out younger kittens and FFGW covers spay/neuter at partner vets.
Application Process
We take in new cats weekly and often have kittens already in foster homes with their moms who will be ready for adoption in a few weeks. Many of our intakes are adopted from their foster homes before they make it to the website based on the applications we have processed for approved adopters. Please get your applications in now to be first in line!
Pre-Approved Applicants
Pre-approved applicants can meet our cats and kittens in their foster homes or choose a kitty and bring it home from an adoption fair. All adoptions are subject to approval.
Adoption Contract
After an approved adopter meets the kitty for them, there is an adoption contract to complete. We will send you an online contract to complete, but you can also view a copy of our adoption contract by clicking the button below. An official electronic version will be sent for completion. We do also ask for an adoption fee as part of completing the adoption.
Adoption Fees
The adoption fee for cats under 10 years of age is $200 for one cat or $300 for a happy pair. We offer a discount to adopters over age 70 with an adoption fee of $75 for one and $50 for each additional cat.
For cats 10 years and older, the suggested adoption fee is reduced to $75 for one and $50 for each additional senior cat. But regardless of your cat’s age, larger donations are gratefully welcomed. These donations are used to care for other cats in our program and are the same whether your kitty has had one vet visit or one hundred!
Many cats who are indoor-only and receive regular vet care may live 18 years or more.
