    Thank you for your interest in providing a lifelong home for one of our cats. The completion of this questionnaire is the first step toward what we hope will be many years of happiness for both you and our rescue cat. Once you have answered all the questions, one of our board members will review your application and may have a few follow-up questions to ask.

    Submitting an adoption application to Tiny Paws & Big Hearts Rescue does not commit the applicant to that adoption nor guarantee adoption approval of the specified or any adoptable cat listed with Tiny Paws & Big Hearts Rescue. We seek the best match of personality, temperament, and home environment for our cats and future adoptive families. We are looking out for the best interests of our cats. We realize that some outcomes may be disappointing please understand that we want the best fit for our cats.

    If your application is approved. you will be asked to sign a legally binding contract when adopting your cat.

    Fees may be paid by cash or PayPal.

    All adoption fees go directly towards providing medical care, food, litter and shelter for our rescued cats. The adoption fees often do not even cover the costs of the care we provide each cat.

    Once the paperwork has been completed and the adoption fee is paid, you will be able to take your new companion home. You will need to provide a carrier for transport. We may contact you after the adoption to follow up and ensure your cat is settling in well.

  • We do not guarantee the health of any animals offered for adoption. Any time you adopt an animal, you should take it to a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible. Your animal is, to the best of our knowledge, healthy, but will need to be started immediately on a program of preventative veterinary care. Please be aware that the animals available for adoption are rescue animals and, as such, have often been exposed to a variety of diseases. Like human illnesses, these disorders can have an incubation period of up to several weeks. If the animal you adopt shows signs of illness at any point, you must take it promptly to your veterinarian for treatment at your expense. 

  • By signing this application, I acknowledge that I have answered all questions truthfully. Failure to provide truthful answers can result in the forfeiture of your adopted pet and adoption fee to Tiny Paws & Big Hearts.
