FAQ

We are foster home-based, meaning we have no singular facility. However, we are managed out of Brentwood, NH and all foster homes are within 1 hour of Brentwood.

Do you have any (insert cat specifications here) available?

Please see our adoptions page for available and soon-to-be available cats.

When will (insert cat specifications here) be available?

We will post on our adoption page when we are accepting applications for cats.

The cat I am interested in adopting is listed as part of a bonded pair; can I adopt just the one cat?

No.

Can I be put on a waitlist for kittens or apply before they are available?

We do not accept applications for any of our cats until they are available.

Can I meet your cats?

In order to respect our foster parent's space and time, only approved applicants will be invited to meet the cat they are applying for.

Do you adopt out of state?

For the most part, yes. However, if there are two applicants who are equally qualified, priority will go to the more local family.

We are unable to adopt to Massachusetts residents at this time per Title 330 of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations, Section 30.03.

I applied to adopt a cat and haven't heard back, what should I do?

Due to the volume of applications and inquiries, we are only able to contact those who pass the preliminary screen. Typically, applications are reviewed two weeks following their initial listing date, and take approximately two weeks to review at that point (totaling at least four weeks from their availability date). If any applications are received prior to a cat being available, they will be discarded. If you have applied for an available cat and it has been over two weeks since the date of review (listed in the cats' Petfinder bio), you may contact us if you have questions about your application's status.

Please note that each of our cats have individual needs and we are looking to make the best match for them for their entire life. We reserve the right to deny applications for any reason. We are unable to disclose the reason for application denial.

I applied to foster and haven't heard back, what should I do?

Foster applications are reviewed on an as-needed basis, and we may not have the resources to onboard a new foster at this time.

Have a copy of your lease available or have otherwise written permission from your landlord to have pets in the home
Review your application for completion prior to submitting

Can I gift a donation to a friend, family member, etc.?

Yes! We offer a few gift donation amounts in our store. With your donation, you will receive a PDF of a pamphlet explaining who we are and what we do that you can print and give to your loved one.

Do you accept memorial donations or planned/legacy giving?

Absolutely. We so appreciate the generous thought and are happy to carry a memory through our cats!
