Adoption Application

---

If you're interested in one of our adoptable cats, start by applying here and we'll be in touch if it's a match.

All Twenty Tails cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before adoption.

House cat adoption fee: $150

Barn cat adoption fee: $100

Adoption fees help us to cover our crucial operating costs for spay/neuter, fuel, supplies, medical care, site visits, and the incredible amount of time it takes us humans to find homes for these wonderful cats. Thank you for supporting the felines of Twenty Tails Rescue!

Our Adoption Process

1. Application

Potential adopters will fill out our Adoption Application. Once we receive your submission, we'll review your application to see if your preferred cat or any other cats in our program would be a great fit for you and your home.

2. Phone Interview

If we think it's a match, we'll reach out to schedule a phone interview where we'll ask you some questions. This is also the time for potential adopters to ask us questions, too!

3. Reference Checks

We'll contact your vet to confirm that you have let them know you're intending to adopt a new pet. Applicants without a current vet will need to call a veterinarian of their choice to set up a new client account. We will not adopt a cat to applicants who don't have healthcare pre-planned.

Renters can adopt from Twenty Tails after we have confirmed landlord approval.

4. Site Visit

We take extra care to ensure our cats will thrive in your home, which will be their new home, too! Site visits are typically required but may be waived under special circumstances.

5. Meet and Greet

It's time to see if it's a match! Potential adopters will have the chance to meet the cat or cats they have applied for in person. If it's a good fit, adopters could possibly take their new family member home that day if the cat has been medically cleared.

6. Adoption Day

Get excited! It's time to bring your furry friend home. All adopters will receive medical documents and microchip information on Adoption Day. Adopters must also pay the adoption fee and submit the Adoption Agreement on the same day. We will take a beautiful family photo with you and your new pet that we share on social media. It's big news!

7. Fur-ever and Always

We reach out to all adopters after the first night, first week, and first month after Adoption Day. All you have to do is love and care for your Twenty Tails cat. If things aren't working out, we will lovingly accept the cat back into our program with no judgment. Our cats' happiness - and yours - are our #1 priority!
