Read our contract carefully as you will have to agree to the terms and sign upon adopting your new cat or kitten.

Please also review our adoption prices to see everything it includes.

Note: The majority of our cats are in foster care and must be met through private appointments. All requests regarding adoption or fostering of cats are handled by a single volunteer. Due to the number of applicants and the complexity of such arrangements, it may take us a few days to call you back. Complete adoption forms or detailed emails are extremely appreciated.

If the adoption proceeds we will arrange a time suitable for both you and our adoption volunteer to meet and you can take your new friend home.

At time of Adoption: Please bring with you an appropriate cat carrier as we have guidelines which we must follow for the cats' safety. Please be prepared to show us photo ID and to review and sign our adoption contract. The adoption fee can only be made to a Happy Cat representative and must be in cash, we will accept a cheque with two pieces of ID. We do not take interac or credit cards.

Thank You!

Why do we ask you to fill out a questionnaire?

The reason many animal rescue organizations ask for a questionnaire to be filled out and sometimes home checks done is so that the right pet can be chosen for you and your family. The rescue volunteers & foster homes get to know the animals very well and are then able to be sure that a pet you are interested in will best suit your home and lifestyle. You would not want to adopt a cat or dog and have your children and you fall in love with it and then find out that even though the color and type were perfect the pet should not have been placed with small children. Now you would have to break the family’s hearts and return the animal to the rescue group. This is not just devastating for you, but also for the dog or cat. They are very sensitive and do not understand all the moves. It would be much easier in some ways for us to just adopt our cats out on the spot and not do all the extra work reviewing the questionnaire and talking and meeting with you, but in the long run getting cats back is not why we rescue them and we are sure that you are adopting a rescue cat or dog to do a good thing - so please be patient while we review your questionnaire and then speak with you, it only takes a couple days maximum for the adoption process, you have the rest of the cat or dogs’ life to enjoy them.
