We do not adopt on a first-come first-served basis. We want the best match for the kitty. Many of these kitties have come from very difficult backgrounds. We want to place as little stress on the cat as possible and make sure you and your family have the perfect life long friend . If you've been a good pet owner in the past, this is a quick, easy process, and you should have no concerns about being approved. Just be sure to let your vet and your references know that we will be calling. We thank you for your interest in one of our kitties and for your patience.
