Adoption Process for Cats

Ready to Adopt a Cat? Here’s What to Expect:

Adopting a cat from All the Paws Animal Rescue is an open, friendly process designed to match great people with wonderful pets — without unnecessary barriers. Many of our cats can be met the same week you apply.

Step 1: Find a Cat

Browse our available cats and kittens. Each profile lists age, personality notes, and where the cat can be met. If you have questions about a specific cat, submit an Adoption Inquiry on their profile.

Step 2: Submit an Adoption Application

Complete the general cat adoption application. It is good for 90 days and can be used for the adoption of any cat, so you only need to apply once.

Step 3: Meet Your Match

A volunteer adoption counselor will contact you to arrange a meet and greet, either at the Rescue Care Center, at a partner adoption center, or in the cat's foster home.

Step 4: Bring Your Cat Home

Once approved, sign the adoption contract, pay the adoption fee, and head home with your new cat along with their medical records and care guidance.

Start Your Adoption Application

Submit your application and our adoption team will review it and contact you about next steps and meeting your cat.
