So You Want To Adopt Your New Best Friend

Team Cat Rescue will consider adoptive families in the GTHA and parts of Durham and Newmarket areas only. This is simply due to logistics and our ability to support our adopters in case of emergency. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the cat's background and your family's needs. Every cat is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a furever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right cat with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet's permanent home.

If you are willing to wait for the right animal to be matched to you, you are an ideal candidate for Team Cat Rescue. As our success rate proves, these precious cats are well worth the wait.

OUR PROCESS

1

Apply

We appreciate you wanting to bring a cat into your home. In order for us to find the right pet for you, we need you to submit an adoption application.

2

Review

We will review your application upon receipt. Our volunteer will set up a time with you to chat. Then we will contact your vet (if you have one) and personal references.  You will be notified if your application was approved or declined by the Directors of the Rescue.

3

Confirming Your Pet

Once approved to adopt, the search for your cat begins if the cat(s) that you are interested in is not available or not a good match. Volunteers will begin to evaluate cats currently in our foster care program who may be a good fit for you and your family and discuss with you.

 

4

Meet & Greet

Once you are approved for a specific cat, we will connect you with the foster parent to schedule a meeting in person or virtually with the cat and discuss all-things cat. We recommend that all household members be present and that you ask any questions at that time.

Additional Information

  • We will not discuss adoption details regarding any particular cat if you have not yet applied to adopt.
  • Team Cat Rescue is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization. We will make every effort to schedule your interview and subsequent visit in a timely manner. Please be patient with us…cats need our time too.
  • Please be sure to alert your vet and personal references that we will be calling to expedite the process. We will not contact them until after we have spoken with you.
