HOW TO ADOPT

We follow the same adoption process as SpokAnimal – plus we’ve added a few screening protocols of our own.

1

Meet the Cats

We require all potential adopters to visit the cats for 50 minutes. Reservations are highly encouraged and can be made here on our website.

2

Fall in Love & “Sleep on it”

If you fall in love with a kitty, let the cat-caretaker know and discuss the waiting period. We do this to maximize the chances of a successful long-term adoption. The cat will be off limits to other adopters during this short period.

3

Set a Date

You will be asked to reach out the next day to confirm your intentions. If you are still in love, then we will work with you to set an adoption date! We need to set it on a day that one of our certified adopters are available either before or after the Kitty Lounge hours.

4

Fill Out Paperwork

SpokAnimal provides us with an adoption packet for each cat. After completing the paperwork, we will collect the shelter adoption fee. This goes entirely to the shelter and helps cover the costs of the care that has been provided to the kitties up until that point.

Bring Home Your New Family Member

Finally you will be able to scoop up your little one! If you want to be on our adoption wall we will take a picture of you and your kitty in the Kitty Lounge then you’re on your way!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where do the cats come from?

All of the cats living with us come from our partner shelter SpokAnimal. This helps free up space and resources at the shelter so they can focus their efforts on more at-risk animals. They are all in need of homes and are adoptable!

Can I claim a cat that you posted on social media?

No, sorry. We don’t do the whole window shopping thing. Check out our adoption process above for more details.

What are the adoption fees?

SpokAnimal sets their adoption rates based on the age of the cat. 100% of the fee goes directly to the shelter.

Can I just walk in and see the cats whenever I feel like it?

The Kitty Lounge is not always open when the café is. The kitties need a break from hoomanz, and we also need time to clean their living space. Reservations are highly recommended to guarantee your time with the cats. Only 6 guests may go in the Kitty Lounge at a time.
