Cat Adoption Team | How to Adopt a Cat

Because adopting a cat or kitten, or any other pet, is a serious family decision, CAT has a team of adoption counselors trained to assist you with finding the perfect lifetime companion. They will help you get to know your prospective new feline friend, answer questions, and provide information about cat behavior and care.

CAT is proud to use the “Meet Your Match™ Feline-ality™” program for all cats nine months and older. Read more about this unique process to find your perfect match.

To adopt a cat or kitten:

Meet the cats
Allow 1-2 hours for your visit
Complete adoption application and contract
Meet with an adoption counselor
Children under 16 accompanied by adult

Click here for shelter location and hours. If you plan on adopting a cat the same day, please plan to visit the shelter 1-2 hours prior to closing. You can always put a 24-hour hold on a cat if you would like to bring back the rest of your family, or need a little extra time to think about your decision.
