Homeless Cat Network Start an adoption application

Homeless Cat Network is an all-volunteer nonprofit rescue serving San Mateo County through Trap-Neuter-Return, adoption, responsible colony management, and community outreach. This foster-based organization has no public facility; adopters meet cats by appointment. The adoption process prioritizes compatibility, requiring a thorough application so staff can match cats to appropriate homes. Every cat and kitten in the adoption program is spayed or neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, deflead, vaccinated with FVRCP, and microchipped. The organization supports adopters who need to return a cat if circumstances change, providing ongoing support for both cats and their families.

Spay or neuter, FIV/FeLV testing, deworming, flea treatment, FVRCP vaccinations, and microchipping.

How do I know if a cat will work for my household?

Complete an online application describing your lifestyle; staff review applications to find a cat whose needs match your household rather than a first-come basis.
