Applicants submit an adoption application (with an optional $10 application donation or request for a free link) and book a mandatory 30-minute virtual home visit. Volunteers conduct landlord checks or homeownership verifications and vet references. Once approved and matched, adopters complete an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.
There is a required minimum $150 adoption donation for cats upon completion of the adoption, which is tax-deductible. Additionally, a $10 minimum application donation is requested to cover electronic processing, though a free application link can be requested.
All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, FeLV/heartworm tested, placed on preventative, up to date on all core vaccines, and have any necessary medical care addressed before adoption is finalized.
Prospective cat fosters must fill out a foster application, attend a meet and greet, complete a virtual home visit, and provide a vet reference. Symbiotic Inc. covers all foster care expenses.
Once the application is submitted, applicants book a 30-minute virtual home tour. A volunteer will verify veterinary care history for past/present pets, confirm landlord approval for renters, or verify public homeownership records for homeowners.
