Fostering and Adoption Form
So, you're thinking of becoming a Fosterer or adopting one (or more) of our amazing rescue cats. That's fantastic news! To give us a better idea of the type of cat(s) that might be suitable for you, please fill out the following application form. Once you've finished, simply click "Submit" and we'll be in touch as soon as we find a suitable match! Please note: fields marked with an * are required.
Are you interested in Fostering or Adoption? *
Select a single option or both. Fostering typically involves caring for one or more of our rescue cats on a temporary basis, while we find them a permanent home, with food, litter and veterinary costs covered by us. Adoption means providing one or more of our rescue cats with their "forever home." Full details will soon be available on our website, but in the mean time, we'd be happy to answer any questions you might have during the call-back stage of our application process.

What's your age? *

In what capacity do you live at this property? *
Are you the legal owner, do you have a tenancy agreement, or are you living with parents or other family members?

Does your property have a spare room that could be used to accommodate your new cat(s)? *

Which cats are you interested in caring for? *
Select all that apply. Typically, shy cats are more wary of human contact and will likely take a while to warm up to you.
