FAQs

 

What is the adoption process?

  1. Fill out an Adoption Application

  2. Pay the application fee

  3. Home trial

Please be patient. Our adoptions are not first, come first served. Allow up to 2 weeks to process applications. We read every submission and would love to respond to every one, but all of our work is done by unpaid volunteers and we simply do not have the time. We only reach out when moving forward with next steps.

What is the adoption fee?

To make adoption more accessible, we do not require an adoption fee. If you would like to make donation it would make a world of difference for our small all-volunteer rescue and the kittens who depend on us.

You charge an application fee?

Yes! An application fee of $10 is required to process applications. Application fees are non refundable no exceptions and all fees support our lifesaving work.

Do you consider out-of-state adoptions?

Yes, we don’t believe distance should keep wonderful kitties from loving homes. However we do not do transportations of any kind so if you’re approved for adoption you will need to travel to New Orleans to sign the adoption contract in person and bring your new family member(s) back home with you.

What supplies do I need to prepare for the home trial?

Everything! We do not provide supplies for home trials as it’s assumed you have been preparing to adopt at the time you applied. 

At a minimum you will need:
Carrier
Litter box (Two for pairs)
Litter
Wet & Dry Food (kitten specific if under one year)
Toys
Bed
Animals with special needs or conditions may need additional supplies and will be discussed prior to scheduling home trial.

I’ve found a kitten! What do I do?

Unless the kitten is in immediate danger, often the right thing to do is leave the kitten where you found it. If it is too young to live on its own watch at a distance for mom. Mom can be gone for hours at a time and is likely nearby. Do not assume the kitten is abandoned especially if it looks well fed and in good health. If the kitten is old enough to live on it’s own it (has teeth and is walking around and playing) and does not have an ear tip indicating it’s been spayed or neutered you should plan to TNR them when they’re of age. If you need TNR assistance please reach out here.
