Process/Adoption Requirements

  1.  Browse our pages of adoptable animals to find who you’d like to add to your family.
     

  2.  Click the “Adopt Me” button to complete the Adoption Application. 
     

  3.  The application will require basic information about the applicant and anyone living in the home and caring for your animals. If you rent, we will require confirmation from your landlord that you are able to adopt the animal you’re applying for.

    We also require a picture of a photo ID of the applicant, who is required to be an adult in the province or state in which they live. The application will also request home photos which can be submitted with your application or to one of our adoption coordinators directly after they receive your application. Two references and phone numbers are also required to complete your application. 
     

  4.  Once your application is submitted, one of our adoption coordinators will be in touch. Response time will vary depending on the volume of applications being processed, but you should hear from a member of our team within 5-7 days. If multiple applications are received for the same animal, our adoption coordinators might suggest similar animals or discuss with you other animals who might be a good fit for your home and family. 
     

  5.  If your application is approved for adoption, you will receive an electronic adoption contract and be provided with information on how to pay the adoption fee and any other applicable fees.
     

  6.  If transportation is required, our adoption coordinators will discuss timeline and options with you for safe transportation of your new family member.

Interested in adopting a cat that is currently with one of our partner locations? (Cat Cafes, Lounges, and Pet Stores)

  • Our partners each have a slightly different process for adoptions, but they all begin with visiting their location and meeting the kitty that you are interested in. Some locations allow drop ins, while others require a scheduled visit. Make sure to check the detailed profile page on our website for the kitty you’re interested in. Each page will tell you where they are located and give you a quick connection for more information on where to visit them!
     

  • Once you visit the location, the staff there will give you guidance for the next steps towards adopting! It’s important to note that some of our partners require you to visit more than once before officially adopting your new family member.

Transportation

We are grateful for our partnerships with several cat lounges in British Columbia. As a result of these partnerships, we regularly travel two routes through BC. We provide transport along our route from Moose Jaw, SK, traveling Highway #1 to Kamloops, BC, and then using Highway #5 to Vancouver Island. Our arrival on the island varies between Victoria and Nanaimo. We also travel from Moose Jaw, SK to Kelowna, BC.


Transport to other locations can also be discussed and arranged on a case by case basis as we have a wide network of volunteers.


Long distance transports are completed by trained and experienced long haul transporters. To ensure the health and safety of all animals, we follow all humane transport guidelines set out by the CFIA and SPCA. We ensure that the transportation of all animals is done in a safe and secure way, and we work hard to make sure each trip is as stress-free as possible for every single animal in our care.

Adoption Fees

Puppies

Puppies aged between 2 and 6 months are priced at $400.


All puppies will have received at least one dose of dewormer and will be at different stages of vaccination depending on their age and how long they have been under our care.


It is important to note that some puppies may still require a booster or additional dose of dewormer after adoption. We strive to ensure that all puppies receive thorough vetting before adoption, but this may vary based on vet availability, location, and length of time in our care.


Once puppies are old enough to be spayed or neutered, adopters can receive a $100 reimbursement by providing proof of surgery documentation to the rescue.

Adult Dogs

Adult dogs and puppies over 6 months of age are $400.


Senior dogs over 8 years of age are $200.

 

All dogs will have received at least one dose of dewormer and will be at different stages of vaccination depending on their age and length of time in our care. It is important to note that some dogs may still need a vaccination booster after adoption. We make every effort to have all eligible and healthy dogs spayed or neutered as soon as possible. The timing of this procedure may vary depending on vet availability, the dog's location, and how long they have been in our care. If a dog has not been spayed or neutered, our adoption coordinators will discuss options on a case-by-case basis.​

Special adoption fees may be listed on individual profile pages.

Transportation

Transportation fees are charged per kennel. If one adopter is adopting multiple animals, they may be able to share a kennel depending on size, age, gender, behavior, and other factors. Our transport coordinators can determine if your animals can share a kennel or if they each need their own.


Costs for transportation to Alberta are $100 per kennel, and to British Columbia, they are $150 per kennel.


Transportation within Saskatchewan may incur a cost based on the distance the animal needs to travel.


For transportation to other provinces, arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.
