How to Adopt
adoption process | pet haven
Step 1: Complete a Cat Adoption Application
Within 72 hours, a Pet Haven Representative will reach out to schedule an Introductory Call and Virtual Home Visit where you will meet virtually to discuss the adoptable cat(s), ask/answer questions on a video chat, and show where you plan to have kitty decompress, litter box locations, etc.
Step 2: Intro Call and Virtual Home Visit
24 hours after your Intro Call and Virtual Home Visit, you will hear from the Adoption Team at Pet Haven regarding next steps. Please note, due to the high level of visibility to prospective adopters, cats at Wired Whisker often receive multiple adoption applications. In this case, we seek to find the purrfect match for the cat and for the person, and are committed to helping all approved adopters find their cat(s)!
Step 3: Adoption Day
Coordinate a date/time (M-F, no adoptions on Saturday or Sunday) for the adoption to take place. You must bring a size appropriate, travel-safe pet carrier for transporting kitty safely to your home.
Please check in at the order counter of Wired Whisker
Complete the Adoption Agreement and Cat Adoption Fee (the team at Wired Whisker will support)
A Wired Whisker representative will support getting kitty in their carrier and send you with a bag of food for transitioning diet, and any outstanding medications as needed.
