The process

What happens next

  1. 01

    Explore the profiles

    Start with personality, age, compatibility, and home-life needs—not just a photo.

  2. 02

    Complete the application

    Share your household, current pets, veterinary history, routines, and the cat or type of companion you are considering.

  3. 03

    References and conversation

    The rescue reviews a veterinary reference and two personal references, then follows up for an interview and any needed questions.

  4. 04

    Confirm the match

    If the match looks promising, the rescue will coordinate next steps and help you prepare for a calm transition home.

Before you apply

A few helpful things to consider

Applicants must be at least 21. Everyone in the household should be ready for the commitment, and renters should confirm that cats are permitted. Plan for a quiet transition space and gradual introductions to resident pets.

  • All household members are on board
  • Housing permits cats
  • Current pets receive regular veterinary care
  • Two non-family personal references are available
  • You’re ready for an adjustment period
