Adoption Procedures

**BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION, PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THE CAT(S) OF INTEREST IS/ARE STILL AVAILABLE BY CHECKING OUR INSTAGRAM HIGHLIGHTS @LIFELINECATS.

1. Complete application (button below) and submit home pictures to admin@felinelifeline.org showing where cat(s) will acclimate, windows with screens in place, doors to exterior, and any outdoor spaces to which the cat(s) may have access. If you have other pets please also send their pictures. Please note that because of the volume of applications we receive, we are not able to respond to each one individually. If you do not hear from us within 72 hours, we invite you to apply again at a later date.

2. If your application is approved, we will reach out to schedule a meet and greet with the cat(s) of interest to you.

3. If we both decide at the meet and greet that the fit is right, we arrange for the adoption to be finalized in the next few days (or after the kittens are spayed/neutered in the event of a pre-adoption).

4. Upon adoption, we collect a minimum tax-deductible donation of $200 per kitten ($150 per cat older than 6 months) and execute the adoption contract (a copy of which will be sent to you ahead of time to review). You receive your cat(s) and a complete copy of their medical records.

**Please note: for their well-being (and to prevent Single Kitten Syndrome - you can read more about that on our Resources page) kittens younger than 6 months old go in pairs OR to homes where there is already at least one other young cat.
