Your adoption
questions, answered.
How it works, where you’ll meet your cat, and what to expect when it’s time to bring them home.
The adoption process
Does applying commit me to adopting?
No. The application helps our volunteer adoption team understand your household and find a suitable match. Your screener will explain the next steps.
What happens after I apply?
A volunteer adoption screener reviews the application, checks references and discusses the adoption process. You can then speak with the foster parent and ask questions about your potential new companion.
Meeting your cat
Where can I meet a cat?
FFF is fully foster based. Visits take place in foster homes or at participating cat cafés, Petco stores and PetSmart stores. Check the cat’s listing and coordinate with the adoption team for the location and arrangements. FFF does not operate a central walk-in shelter.
Can I ask the foster parent questions?
Yes. Foster parents know each cat’s personality, preferences and everyday behavior. Your adoption team will coordinate the introduction.
Fees & ongoing care
What is included in the adoption fee?
See the current adoption fees and included services. Our cats receive a vet exam, flea treatment, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, FeLV and FIV testing, a microchip, and vaccinations appropriate for their age before adoption. Additional parasite treatment may be needed after adoption.
Who handles veterinary care after adoption?
Adopters are responsible for ongoing veterinary care, including remaining vaccinations and future boosters. FFF does not provide vaccinations after adoption. Review your cat’s medical records with your veterinarian. Additional parasite treatments may be needed after adoption.
Bringing your cat home
How do I arrange pickup?
After approval, coordinate the meeting and pickup arrangements with the adoption team. Bring a secure, appropriately sized carrier and arrange a date when you are ready to welcome your cat home. FFF does not offer boarding.
Where will I find the paperwork and medical records?
The application, payment and contract process is online. Your cat’s records are organized in your Petstablished Pet Lover account. Your adoption screener can help with the process.
