Kitten Palooza

Kitten Palooza is the kitten adoption event of the year! Plus, we have fun activities online during Kitten Week leading up to the event. 

About the event

Join us from June 23rd to June 28th for Kitten Palooza! We will have more than 100 adorable kittens ready and waiting to meet you. Whether you are looking for a playful tabby, a sleek black kitten, or a bonded pair of mischief-makers, your future best friend is waiting. 

If you’ve been around for our past Kitten Palooza events, you know it’s an annual extravaganza that we look forward to every year. This year, we’re mixing it up a little bit. Instead of a one-day, mega-adoption event, we’re spreading the fun across a full week!

Kitten Palooza is busy, fun, and full of activity!

For the comfort of guests and kittens, entrance to this event is available by appointment between 12-2 PM or during walk-up hours from 2-6 PM, Tuesday, June 23-Thursday June 25, and by appointment from 12-6 PM Friday, June 26-Sunday June 28 with walk-up hours these days from 2-6 PM. 

To make an appointment, please fill out an application. Applications for this event open June 18 at 10am. Please read the FAQs below for more information. 


Kittens are PAW-some!

Join us online for a week-long celebration of all things KITTEN!

To get in on all the fun, follow Cat Adoption Team on Facebook and Instagram.

Starting June 20th, pay special attention to our social media accounts. There, you’ll find photos of adorable fosters, tips on how to welcome your new kitten into your home, what it’s like to foster for Cat Adoption Team, and more!

To request an appointment, fill out an application starting June 18 at 10am and a team member will be in touch and send a link to schedule an appointment. Appointments are available Tuesday, June 23-Thursday June 25 from 12-2 PM and Friday, June 26-Sunday June 28 from 12-6PM. 

Walk-up hours are between 2-6 PM, every day of Kitten Palooza, June 23-28. Please be prepared to fill out an application upon arrival and check-in. 

Between June 23-28, any adopter with an appointment or who comes during walk-up hours, will come to CAT’s shelter in Sherwood to meet kittens for adoption in person!

During your scheduled or walk-in appointment, our staff and volunteers will show you around to see the kittens available at the time of your visit. Once you narrow down your selection to one or two kittens, you’ll have the chance to hold them and interact with them more to see if it’s a love connection!

If you decide to adopt at the event, you’ll attend an adoption counseling session to go over the details of your adoption, complete paperwork, and pay your adoption fee. You can also shop our retail store for great deals on the supplies your new kitten needs!

Most kittens will be ready to go home with you after your adoption is finalized, so please plan accordingly.

You should expect to be at the shelter for about 1-2 hours to meet kittens and finalize your adoption.

The adoption fee for kittens during Kitten Palooza is $200. All cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped before going home with you. 

These kittens will not appear on CAT’s website before the event. If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, we’ll be posting photos of some of kittens that are expected to be at the event — but we can’t guarantee their availability. Things change quickly with kittens. A kitten could get sick or we might realize they’re too shy for a big event. Plus, we’re still getting in more kittens each day!

One thing we can say for sure: You will get to see a lot of cute kittens at the event!

You’ll need to be available to take your kitten home on the same day as the event. There are no holds offered during Kitten Palooza.

This event helps kitties move out of the shelter/foster homes so that we can take in more needy animals. If you’re not available to take your adopted kitten home the day you come in, please wait and visit when you’re ready. We will have lots more kitties looking for homes later this summer!

We totally get it. Kittens are adorable, and this event is a ton of fun. But…

Appointments for Kitten Palooza are limited, and we want to help as many people and kittens find love as possible! If you’re not planning to adopt at the event, please visit us on another day.

We’re open for walk-ups without an appointment during our regular open hours any other time! During the summer months you’ll almost always find some cute kittens — and wonderful adult cats — in our shelter.

Thanks for understanding!

Absolutely! Adopters who want to see a lot of kittens in one visit may choose to attend Kitten Palooza. But whenever you’re ready to take a cat or kitten home, you can stop by the shelter without an appointment during our regular open hours. This time of year we often have kittens — and many lovely adult cats — ready for adoption.
