Our Adoption Process…
…And what to expect
We post many of our kitties online. However, there are many kitties (especially kittens) that don’t make it to an online listing and can only be seen at one of our adoption events.
Visit us at one of our weekend adoption events, meet us in person, and fill out our adoption application there. If all works out, you may be able to take the kitty home that day.
OR
Find a cat that you are interested in. To do this, visit our cats and kittens on our Adoptables page or you can see some of them in-person at our adoption stands at PetSmart Mechanicsville or PetSmart Libbie & Broad. Note that some of the ones listed on our site are in private foster homes.
Fill out our Pre-Adoption Form with the name of the kitty you are interested in.
Wait 48 hours to hear back from one of our volunteers. Note that we are trying to find the best matches for our kitties and there may be multiple applications on the same kitty. If you do not hear back from us after a few days, feel free to follow up with an email at catscradlerichmond@gmail.com (After all, we are just volunteers).
Make an appointment with a volunteer to do a meet and greet with the kitty or attend one of our adoption events.
Do some more paperwork, pay the adoption fee, and take the kitty home!
