Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the adoption process take?+

Most applications are reviewed within 3–5 days. From application to bringing your cat home is typically 1–2 weeks.

What are the adoption fees?+

Adoption fees range from $75 (adult cats) to $150 (kittens). Fees include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, and deworming.

Do you ship cats out of state?+

We adopt locally to ensure we can support our adopters. If you're outside Central Florida, please contact a rescue in your area.

Can I adopt a kitten as my only pet?+

We strongly encourage adopting kittens in pairs — they thrive with a feline playmate, and it makes raising them much easier.

What is FIV?+

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. See our FIV Info page — short version: FIV+ cats live full, happy lives in indoor homes.

I found a stray. What do I do?+

First, check for a microchip at any vet. Post on local lost-and-found groups. If you can keep them safe for a few days, that gives the owner the best chance of finding them.

Can I surrender my cat?+

We're a small foster-based rescue with limited capacity. See our Rehome a Pet page for the full process and alternatives.

How can I help if I can't adopt?+

Foster, volunteer, donate, share our cats on social, or come to an event. Every bit helps.
