Cat Adoption Application

This form is most successful when completed from a desktop or laptop computer. Form submission may fail if you complete from a mobile device. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption to any person for any reason. This online adoption application is for your convenience only, and does not guarantee that the animal of your choice will be available for adoption. You must still come to The Cat Corner where you will be interviewed by our volunteers for approval to adopt. You must be 25 years old in order to adopt one of our animals. The adoption form must be filled out in its entirety. We receive many online adoption application forms and appreciate you taking the time to fill them out, But we cannot process your adoption application if all of the required information is not provided to us. We do not respond to those who submit incomplete application forms, so please supply all of the information that is requested. If you find a question that does not apply to you, please write N/A.

Applying to adopt does not mean that you will be approved to adopt. There is a process we go through to help make sure that each person or family is a good fit for the particular cat/ kitten they are applying to adopt, and that they are ready to make a lifetime commitment to that animal. In addition, there might be other applications submitted for that particular cat or kitten. It is not first come, first serve. If multiple applications are submitted on one animal, we try to select the best fit home for that particular animal. We are responsible for each of our animals and have the right to refuse any application that we think is not ready to adopt an animal from our organization. *

Do you have a back-up option(s) in case your 1st choice has already been adopted? Please keep in mind that there may be other applications already submitted on your choices, so when visiting, we ask you to spend time with all of our animals and speak with a Volunteer with the personality you are looking for.
