Apply to Adopt.

Thank you for considering opening your home to some new love!

We are aware that in choosing to work with us, you are choosing to support a small rescue with limited resources, and that there are other more deeply subsidized options for cat adoption. Cats Cradle focuses on kittens (orphans and ones with Mamas), a type of rescue that requires specialized skills, round-the-clock attention, plus extra equipment and feeding costs. (Fun fact - an orphan, bottle-raised kitten can easily drink $80 in kitten formula before weaning!) We are so thankful for your support!

Please take a moment to scroll through and read all the questions below. The form will not save half-answers, so when you feel ready, set aside some time, grab a tea, and tell us about yourself! The info you share helps frame our adoption interview conversation.

Please remember that we adopt our kittens and cats out in pairs unless you have a compatible cat in your home or we have decided that something about one of our cats or kittens (health or temperament) suggests that they would thrive best as a single cat in a home.

Our adoption fees are:

  • $300 for a pair of kittens* between 8 weeks and six months, which includes first vaccinations**, deworming, flea treatment as needed, and a vet check.

  • $550 for a pair of kittens who are fixed.

  • $175 for a single kitten (see above for our single-kitten policy) which includes first vaccinations**, deworming, flea treatment as needed, and a vet check.

  • $300 for a single fixed kitten

  • $200 for a spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated (often first-round) Mama cat

    *If you have adopted kittens too young for surgery, you have the option of paying us $226 per surgery and having it done at our partner vet clinic. Payments for any additional testing or procedures opted for at that appointment are the responsibility of the adopter. If you prefer to use your own vet we will require a spay/neuter deposit of $100 for each kitten to be refunded with proof of spay/neuter once completed.

    **Each additional vaccine a kitten has received in our care will increase their adoption fee by $34.
