Adoption Program

Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment, so potential adoptive homes are screened carefully by Network volunteers. We try to fit the right human companion to the right cat and ensure a secure and enduring home. Network members interact with the cats on a daily basis and can discuss the personalities of the cats and kittens.

Time: 12:00 noon-4:00PM, 3rd Saturday of every month
Location: Pet Food Express, Middlefield at Charleston, Palo Alto

At adoption events, you can meet a selection of cats available for adoption. It is helpful if you read about our adoption program and complete our online adoption questionnaire before attending the open house. If you are interested in a particular cat we can arrange to bring that cat to the fair.

Steps to adoption:

  1. Browse our Adoption Gallery, listings are complete and updated daily.
  2. If you are interested in one or more of the cats, fill out the Adoption Application.
  3. A Network member will contact you to set up an adoption appointment.

You can see photos of the adopted cats and their stories in the Happy Tails section. These cats have found great homes, and now others are awaiting adoption and need your help. If you can't take another cat yourself, please pass the word on to family and friends. "Word-of-mouth" is a very important medium for spreading awareness of our mission.

Foster homes are needed but hard to find, so some cats must be boarded until they are adopted. Find out more about our foster care program here. The adoption program is a most satisfying but costly endeavor, for which your support is needed.
