Adoptive homes must keep all cats indoors.
Existing cats within the home must be tested negative for both Feline Leukemia and FIV.
Existing animals must be up to date on vaccines.
Existing cats in the home must be spayed or neutered.
No cats or kittens can be given as gifts, the written consent of any future owner is needed for any adoption. Gift certificates towards an adoption are available.
Applications are good for six months from date of approval, after that time a new interview and vet reference check will be required.
We discourage placement to households with 5 or more animals.

Kitten Policy

Kittens under 4 months of age:
Must either be adopted with a littermate, another kitten, or an adult feline companion cat unless the adopter has another companion cat in the household.
Will not be adopted to homes with children under the age of 5 years.
Will only be placed in a home with a dog if the dog has been previously exposed to cats and proven to be cat friendly.

Kittens over 4 months until 6 months:
We strongly prefer to place all kittens with a companion when possible unless a companion kitty is already in the household or the kitten will have human companionship the majority of the time.
Will not be placed in homes with children between the ages of 1 and 4 years, except on a case by case consideration.

Transport Policy

We will adopt cats to approved out of state applicants, however ground transportation arrangements are solely the responsibility of the adopter.
We will not ship cats via airline, although they may travel on a case by case approved basis, along with a passenger within the cabin of the aircraft. No cat will be shipped as cargo, ever.
Upon application approval, we will make every effort to work with your travel arrangements, but please understand we can not “hold” a cat for you while you spend several weeks arranging transport. Generally we would like the cats to move on to their forever homes as quickly as possible, within a window of two weeks.

Please Note:
These are our Standard Policies. Exceptions may be made in rare instances, on a case by case basis, as applicable to a particular cat, circumstance, and/or potential home. If you think you may qualify, please send us a detailed email explaining your situation and we will evaluate the situation further.
