If you have been thinking about adopting a cat, you are about to embark on a journey that will change your life in the most beautiful ways. At Saint Cat Rescue - Richmond Hill, we make the adoption process smooth and rewarding, ensuring you find the perfect match for your family. This blog's simple 5-step process is designed to guide you through every stage, so you can focus on what matters most—welcoming your new furry companion into your heart and home.
Here is how easy it is to adopt a cat with us:
Step 1: Review Cats and Kittens Available for Adoption
The first step to finding your perfect feline friend is exploring the cats and kittens currently available for adoption. Each of our cats has a unique biography, providing all the essential details you need. This includes:
The cat’s age and temperament.
How they get along with children or other animals.
The ideal household conditions that would suit the cat's personality and needs.
By reviewing these bios, you will clearly understand which cat might be the best fit for your family’s lifestyle. Whether looking for a playful kitten or a calm, affectionate companion, this step helps you make an informed decision.
Step 2: Complete the Online Adoption Application
Once you have found a cat that seems like the right match, the next step is to submit your adoption application. This is a straightforward process, and our online form makes it convenient and quick.
You can fill out the application here:
Be sure to complete all mandatory fields to avoid any processing delay. This is your chance to tell us a little about yourself, your home, and your experience with pets, so we can ensure the best possible match between you and the cat.
Step 3: Receiving a Call About Your Application (1-2 Days)
Once we have received your application, the Saint Cat team will review it and give you a call within 1-2 days. This is an opportunity for us to discuss your application, ask any follow-up questions, and ensure we have all the necessary information to proceed.
During this call, feel free to ask any questions about the adoption process, such as for more information about the cat you are interested in or how to prepare your home for its arrival. We are here to support you every step of the way.
Step 4: Reference Checks (Day 3-4)
After the initial call, we will conduct reference checks to ensure that the cat is going to a safe and loving environment. Once your references have been cleared, we will contact you to arrange a meet and greet with the cat.
This step ensures that all prospective adopters are thoroughly vetted, and it helps us feel confident that we are placing our rescued cats in homes where they will thrive.
Step 5: Meet and Greet at the Adoption Center
The final step is the most exciting! You will visit our adoption center to meet the cat you are interested in. One of our team members will be there to guide the introduction and make sure everything goes smoothly. This is your chance to interact with the cat, get a feel for their personality, and assess how well they fit with your family.
If it feels like a good match, we will work with you to finalize the adoption and arrange a date for you to bring your new furry friend home. Knowing you are giving a rescued cat a second chance at a happy, loving life is truly a rewarding moment.
