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.

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.
