Adoption Application – Kitty Kat Haven & Rescue

Thank you for your interest in adopting. While we try our best please note applications may take several business days to process and approve. It is our policy to not do same day adoptions without an approved application. However, you are still invited to attend an adoption event or visit the Haven to meet a kitten or cat and have the application processed on the next business day. When you have submitted your form you should be brought back to this page and a confirmation message will appear below this block of text. If there are errors those will be indicated below this block of text. You may have to scroll to ensure you received either confirmation of success or errors to be corrected.
