Furever Homes For Felines, Inc. is a non-profit, registered 501(c)(3) cat rescue run by a team of feline-loving volunteers. All of our cats are rescued from the dangerous outdoors of the Massachusetts area. They are cared for in foster homes until they can be adopted into life-long, caring "forever homes." We aim to promote responsible pet owner practices, such as spaying and neutering and keeping domestic cats indoors. Since our establishment in September 2018, we have saved the lives of over 400 cats and kittens and found each of them the purr-fect homes!
1. Fill out an adoption application online. We have two online applications, one for cats in foster homes and another for cats at PetSmart. Again, be sure to read the description of the cat you are interested in adopting to know their location so you can fill out the appropriate application. The links to these applications are further down on this page. Please continue reading to find them. 2. After submitting your application, we will contact you by email regarding approval. Our approval emails sometimes get marked as spam! Keep an eye on your email's spam folder after you submit an application, or add our email address to your contacts (fureverhomesforfelines@gmail.com). We review applications in order that they are received, and we often receive a high volume of applications at once. Please allow us at least a couple of days to respond to your application. 3. If approved, we will ask you to pay a deposit to us via PayPal (paypal.me/fhff). Deposits are $50 per cat you are adopting. If you are adopting two cats the deposit is $100, and so on. Deposits should be paid as soon as possible once we have notified you of your application approval. If the deposit is not made in good time, the cat may be adopted to someone else. 1 Kitten (under 1 year old): Deposit $50, Total Price $245; 2 Kittens: Deposit $100, Total Price $425; 1 Adult Cat (≥1 year old): Deposit $50, Total Price $195; 2 Adult Cats: Deposit $100, Total Price $350; 1 Adult Cat + 1 Kitten: Deposit $100, Total Price $395; Spirit Cat (Any Age): Deposit $50, Total Price $150 each. 4. Once the deposit is received, an adoption appointment will be arranged for you to pick up your new cat. Cats from foster homes: Appointments for a “curbside adoption” will be made for a Saturday in the late morning or early afternoon (11:00 am or later). Pickup location will be at a volunteer’s house in Belchertown, MA. The address will be provided through email. In the case of barn cats, a volunteer will arrange with you to transport the barn cat to your home. Cats at PetSmart: Appointments will be made for your soonest availability at the PetSmart store. Adopters will receive .PDF files of their cat’s medical records prior to adoption. Most paperwork will be done digitally. Adopters MUST bring their own cat carrier and wear a face mask at all times during their adoption appointments!!! 5. Be sure to have these items in your home so your cat has a comfortable first night! A safe, hard shell cat carrier (We will not turn away a soft shell carrier, however we recommend hard shell carriers if you do not already own a cat carrier); Wet/dry cat food and food/water bowls (We recommend Friskies canned wet food twice a day and Science Diet dry food left out all day with water); Cat litter and litter box (We train our cats on clumping cat litters such as Tidy Cats and Fresh Step); Plenty of toys (Wands, plastic springs, scratching pads, and catnip toys are popular favorites); A cat tree.
