Cat Adoption/Foster Application

The first step in adopting one of our rescued pets is to complete our application. Once you have the application completed, we will review it and check your references. If everything looks good, we will contact you to go over your application and answer any questions we (or you) may have. At that point, we would schedule a home visit where we would bring the dog or cat to you, so that the entire family, including any other pets, can meet him/ her!
