How to adopt a cat step by step?

5 Important Steps to Adopting a Cat to the Best Home Possible Ask questions before you meet. Ask potential adopters to fill out an application. Set up a meet and greet. Create an adoption contract that both you and the adopter will sign once youve approved them.

Is it okay to return an adopted cat?

Most shelters will give you a 30 day grace period to return the pet if its not a good fit, and youll get your adoption fees back. Also kittens are so popular, the one you brought home will likely be adopted back out right away and be totally fine. You wont be dooming him to a life in the shelter :)

What to do with a cat you cant keep?

Contact your local animal shelter Many animal shelters, rescues, SPCAs, humane societies, and municipal animal controls have programs to keep people and pets together. At minimum they can often refer you to credible resources in your own community that may be able to help.

How long can cat adoption take?

On average, most cats are in new homes within 14 days from intake to adoption. For dogs, its about 10 days. If an animal is waiting longer than usual to find a new home, we might move that animal to another AHS shelter so it can be seen by more people.

What is the 3-3-3 cat adoption rule?

New Cat? Set Realistic Expectations! You can expect that it will take your cat some time to get used to the new routines and environment. The Rule of Three means that you can gauge the time it might take for your cat to fully acclimate to his home in threes: three days, three weeks, and three months.
