Community Cat Rescue

Adoption Process

1. Please complete our Adoption Application form. Submit the application and we will begin the adoption process. 2. A Community Cat Rescue volunteer will contact you within 24-48 hours to review your application and ask questions helpful in finding the right pet for you. Thereafter, the Adoption Committee reviews your application to determine the best match for each animal. 3. The cat/kitten's fosterer will arrange for you to meet the kitty. You can either attend our next adoption fair, or visit the foster home. (Note: Community Cat Rescue does not do same-day adoptions. Potential adopters need sufficient time after they have met the cat/kitten to decide whether they are truly able to make a commitment which may last 15 or 20 years.) 4. After a successful meeting, the cat/kitten will be delivered to your home by a Community Cat Rescue volunteer. The adoption is finalized with the signed Adoption Contract and payment of the adoption fee. You will receive an information packet which should answer many of your questions about cat/kitten care. However, we encourage you to contact your Community Cat Rescue representative at any time with any concerns you may have. 5. About a week later, a volunteer will contact you to make sure that you and the cat/kitten are getting along well.
