We’re excited to help you find your new feline family member! As an entirely foster-based organization, our adoption process is customized to ensure the perfect match for both our cats and their future families. Because of this, our approach is a bit different from other rescues. Here’s an outline of our adoption process so you know what to expect:

Step 1: Contact and Discuss with the Foster

Each adoptable cat profile includes contact information for their foster parent. Since our organization is entirely foster-based, these fosters have the most up-to-date information about each cat. In your initial contact, please include details about your home, current pets, and any other relevant information to help us understand your environment and needs. Have a detailed conversation with the foster about the cat you’re interested in adopting. The foster will provide you with specific insights into the cat’s personality, habits, and any special needs. If it seems like a good fit, the foster will then provide a link to our adoption application.

Step 2: Submit an Adoption Application

Complete the adoption application with as much detail as possible. Once submitted, a few families will be selected to move forward in the process and will be invited to a meet and greet with the cat.

Step 3: Meet and Greet

Selected families will have the opportunity to meet the cat in person. This is a crucial step to ensure that both the cat and the potential adopters are comfortable with each other.

Step 4: Adoption Confirmation

If you are chosen as the adopter, you will be contacted with the good news! We will then guide you through the final steps to prepare for your new family member. At this stage, the adoption payment will be collected.

Step 5: Prepare for Arrival

Set up an acclimation space in your home for your new cat to help them adjust smoothly. Coordinate a date and time for the pick-up or delivery of your new family member. We’ll provide you with all necessary information and support to make the transition as seamless as possible.

Thank you for choosing to adopt from Meow Village! We look forward to helping you find the perfect cat to join your family.
