Adoption Process

🐾 Adoption Process – Whisper’s Rescue

❤️ Give a Rescued Cat a Forever Home

Adopting from Whisper’s Rescue means giving a deserving cat a second chance at life. Below is everything you need to know — from how to start the adoption journey to what happens after you bring your new furry friend home.

📋 Step 1: Submit an Adoption Application

Fill out our quick and easy Adoption Application Form online. It helps us understand your lifestyle and match you with the right cat. We ask questions about your home, family members, pets, and your expectations to ensure it’s a good fit for both you and the cat.

🐱 Step 2: Meet & Greet

Once your application is approved, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet — either virtually or in person. You’ll spend time getting to know your chosen cat and asking any questions you may have.

🏡 Step 3: Home Preparation

We may do a brief home check (in person or by photos) to ensure your space is safe, clean, and cat-ready. Things we look for:
  • Secure windows or screens
  • No access to toxic plants or open hazards
  • A quiet, cozy space for your cat to adjust

💵 Step 4: Adoption Fee

Our adoption fees help cover the cost of:
  • Spay/neuter surgery
  • Vaccinations
  • Microchipping
  • Deworming and flea treatments
  • Vet checks and any medical care
Standard adoption fee:
  • 💰 $100 for adult cats
  • 💰 $140 for kittens (under 6 months)
  • 💰 $180 for bonded pairs (discounted)

🚗 Step 5: Bringing Your Cat Home

Once the adoption is finalized, we’ll provide you with:
  • Vet records
  • A small starter pack (if available)
  • Tips for helping your cat adjust
Allow 1–2 weeks for the cat to fully settle in. Some hide, some explore right away — every cat adjusts in their own way.
