Begin by reading our FAQs and cat listings at the end of this page.

If you’d like to proceed, fill out an adoption application. Tell us about yourself and the type of cat(s) you are looking for. Feel free to list specific cats that you are interested in, but it is not necessary. Our goal is to be a matchmaker and help you find the right cat for your family and lifestyle. 

If we approve your application, will then arrange a video house interview with one of our adoption councillors. This goes for about 15 minutes.

We then arrange a time to meet the cat in person, either at our shelter or their home with their foster carer. Please note we do not move cats from their known environmnent for a meeting.

If all goes well, you can complete the adoption agreement form and pay the adoption fee.

Once the adoption fee has been received, you can take your cat home and begin your 1-month adoption trial.

During this trial, you may return the cat for any reason. Medical expenses will also be covered by our charity. 50% of the adoption fee can be returned if the adoption trial doesn’t work out. It is our requirement that all cats are vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, and flea-and-worm protected prior to this trial, with all their paperwork handed over when collecting your cat.

We provide support as needed around introducing a new cat to your home.

Our adoption fees are $200 for an adult cat, $250 for a bonded pair of adult cats, or $300 per kitten. This helps us recover some of their medical expenses.

All of our cats are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms.

Fostering means taking a cat into your home, but only temporarily — you’re basically letting them live with you until they find an adopter they don’t have to stay at our shelter. Cats feel much more comfortable in a home than a shelter, plus it makes our shelter available for new rescues. 

Adopting is when you intend to keep them forever. 

Please note we don’t offer fostering as an adoption trial.

Each cat is health-checked prior to listing for adoption. We cover medical expenses during the 2-week trial, but from there you need to provide the rest. We highly recommend RSPCA Pet Insurance – vet bills are expensive. Download our Cat Care 101 pdf for more advice 🙂

Yes absolutely! Our shelter is open for volunteers and visits. We currently don’t have enough staff to keep the shelter open all the time, but you can send us a message and schedule a time to visit.
