One of our primary goals is to keep cats out of the shelters.

While an essential need in the current pet homelessness crisis, shelters can be stressful, especially for felines. This makes adoption even more difficult.

Therefor we offer what is referred to as a supportive adoption, for each and every cat or kitten who leaves our care. 

This means that we are here to help even after they are no longer in our direct care.

This includes all manner of support from food or vaccines, to providing a safe place if you no longer can keep them for whatever reason. As a reminder, we are a judgment free rescue.

We collaborate with folks as to when it is best for them to transition the kitten into their home. There’s a few things that we consider during this process.

As not every kitten or adopter is the same, we do not have a “one size fits all” method. We work with you for what is best for all involved.

There are several avenues to success. One being, adopters will have us retain the kitten until spay/ neuter is accomplished. Another is adopters taking in the kitten, spay/ neutering, and then sending us the proof of spay/ neuter to finalize the adoption.

Lastly, we can pick the kitten up for an appointment at a later date for families that need assistance with the spay/ neuter facilitation. They’re gone for the day but return that evening, set up for success and a bright future.

We always recommend following the 3:3:3 rule:

3 days to come out of hiding, 

3 weeks to learn the routine, 

3 months to fully settle. 

Your new pet is exciting and we understand that an immediate bond may be a disappointment.

Please keep in mind that many cats or kittens come from varied backgrounds, some that include unfriendly humans.

Take time with your new pet and earn the trust. They are simply scared and do not know that you are excited to meet them.

Kindness, patience, and enough treats will gain your new friends trust in due course.

If you need support during this time, our staff is available for advice, problem-solving and encouragement.

We ask that any current cats in the home are up to date on both the FVRCP vaccine, Rabies Vaccine and spayed/ neutered. If you need assistance accomplishing any of the described care, please reach out and our staff will help facilitate required care prior to adoption.

Cats can reproduce at 4 months and have females can produce at least 3 litters per year! It’s very important that your little one is fixed. 

As stated, one of our primary goals is to keep pets out of shelters. A large part of that is making sure there are less unwanted pets burdening an already inundated shelter system.

Yes! Most certainly. Please understand that our staff are volunteer. While each volunteer is passionate, dedicated, professional, and eager to help- they ear have full lives with jobs, families, and of course fosters. Please give us grace as we do our best to serve as many cats and kittens as possible.

We have a short application in order to gather pertinent information while respecting your time. 

Then, a member of our adoptions team will reach out and discuss your wants and needs, and together, we will discuss a potential match. 

We then discuss the needs of that individual feline and if both you and the cat or kitten are ready for this transition.

Then the foster for your particular match will reach out and set up a pick up or drop off time. 

Only 4% of cats that end up in shelters are ever found and returned to their owners. 

Please also consider the dangers of the outdoors. While your cat may have previously lived outside as a community cat in another area, a new area is associated with unknown territory which exacerbates risks.

The only adoptions exempt from this part of the adoption agreement are, of course, barn- specific adoptions.

As a judgment free rescue, we promise to help in anyway that we are realistically able without holding any present circumstances against those who actively seek help and assistance.

We are deeply passionate about helping animals, but we also understand that a large part of helping animals is helping their care-takers.
