Adoption Process
Before filling out an adoption application, be sure the timing is right for you. Once approved, the process usually moves quickly (often less than a few days), and we cannot hold kitties for adopters. For more info please review the FAQs.
1) Fill out an adoption application.
This is a required first step. Because we are foster-based, the adoption application gives us an idea if you are a match for the kitty. It does not obligate you to adopt them. We do not track special requests. If you have a specific breed you're looking for, please sign up for our enews (below) or follow us on social media to keep an eye on our cats/kittens as they come into rescue. Kittens must be adopted in pairs or to homes that already have another young cat. No exceptions.
Please note: the application may not work on a mobile device. Use a desktop browser for the easiest experience.
​
2) If the cat/kitten you want to adopt is available, and we think you're a good match, we'll reach out to you to set up a meet and greet.
This will typically happen within 24 hours. If you haven't heard from us after 2 days, please check your spam folder, and email us at info@denverkittens.org.
​
3) The in-person meet and greet in the foster home is usually scheduled within 1-3 days.
Setting up a meet-and-greet does not put a "hold" on a kitty. They are considered adoptable until the adoption fee is paid.
​
4) If it's a match, the adoption is finalized by signing an adoption contract and paying the adoption fee.
All fosters need to be spayed/neutered before going home, so, especially for kittens, you may need to wait a few days or a few weeks, depending on where they're at in that process. Once the pet is ready to go home, please be prepared to pick it up within 24 hours.
​
5) Pickup will be scheduled.
Kitty must be picked up within 24 hours of finalized adoption.
