Adoption questions

Generally we adopt on O'ahu. Off island adoptions are considered case by case for the right home, but you'll need to coordinate transport.

Yes, with written permission from your landlord allowing cats. A short email or signed note works. We'll ask for a copy during application review.

Yes. Resident dogs and cats should be up to date on core vaccines and spayed or neutered. We'll ask for vet contact info as part of the application.

Yes. Our cats are adopted as indoor pets, or indoors with a secured catio or screened lanai. Hawai'i's wildlife, traffic, and disease load make outdoor life genuinely risky.

Usually 3 to 7 days from application to going home, depending on how quickly we can connect for a meet and greet.

The cat comes back to us, no questions asked. That commitment is for life, even years later. We'd much rather you call us than rehome on your own.

Single kittens get lonely and bored without a playmate. We strongly encourage adopting kittens in pairs or with a resident cat under 5. Adult cats are usually more independent.

All our adoptions have an implicit trial period — if it's not working in the first few weeks, call us and we'll help figure it out, including taking the cat back.

Fees vary by cat and are shown on each cat's listing on the available cats page. Fees offset a fraction of what we spend per cat, including spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, FeLV/FIV test, deworming, and starter kit. See our care standards for details.
