Can I adopt from you if I live out of state?

Can I put the cat I want to adopt on hold?

No, we do not put animals on hold unless your application for adoption has been approved.

Why can’t I adopt only 1 kitten?

It is our rule and recommendation that kittens under a year old must go in pairs, or to a home with another young cat, under the age of 4 years old. No exceptions.
