Adoption Application Form

Adoption Application Form

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue animal. Please fill out the form below to help us understand your suitability and preferences.
Are you local to the Chattanooga, TN area?
Our rescue and all of our animals are based in Chattanooga, TN. We love finding the right homes near and far, and transport to your area can be arranged for an additional fee!
What kind of animal are you interested in adopting?
Please specify the name of the animal you're interested in adopting. If applying for kittens, please list your top 3 choices.
Do you currently own a cat or kitten?
Kittens thrive with a feline friend! Single Kitten Syndrome is real, and kittens often develop better social skills, confidence, and behaviors when they have another cat or kitten companion. Because of this, we do prioritize adopters willing to adopt multiple kittens. If you don't currently have a cat at home, please take a moment to read why adopting two kittens is often the best choice: https://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens
