STSFF Adoption Application

  • Adoption Application

    St. Sophia's practices Equal Opportunity Adoption, giving each potential adopter, and each of our cats, the equal opportunity to adopt or be adopted. We do have policies and guidelines that affect our decisions, but welcome open conversation during the application process. Please answer all questions to the best of your ability keeping this in mind.

  • Adoption Policies

    Below are the criteria against which we evaluate applications that come through. Please take note of these policies before completing this application
    • Please do not apply unless you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within 3 days of applying.

    • We process applications in the order they come in.

    • We will continue to process applications after yours which may or may not be for the feline you are interested in.

    • We finalize applications once we receive all the info we asked for.

    • Due to the dynamics of this process, the feline you specifically applied for may already be pending adoption, depending on when we can get the information requested/vet records and complete your application review.

    • We do not hold any feline until an appointment is set, on an approved application.

    • We can only “hold” one feline with an appointment.

    • For kittens under 4 months, we require them to be adopted into a household with another friendly feline, or adopted with a buddy.
      (**if a particular kitten is excluded from this rule, it will be noted in their profile**)
