FAQs

What are your adoption fees?

For the Love of Cats adoption fee is $100 for a kitten or cat up to 10 years old, and $50 for each additional kitten or cat to the same household ($150 if you adopt a pair). All of our cats are spayed or neutered, receive first vaccination, treated for fleas, dewormed and microchipped. As far as the FIV/FeLV combo test, as a precaution, we do test our kittens and cats. If you are concerned about FIV/FeLV, an excellence resource for this is at Alley Cat Allies.

The link to our adoption form is below. If you have problems with the online form, please email us at cats@4loveofcats.org. Also, our applications are not a guarantee for adoption. If you do not hear from us, a potential adopter may have already inquired about the kitten(s) or cat(s) prior to your application or adoption requirements may have not been met.

What is your application process?

As stated above, an application to adopt is not a guarantee for an adoption. We do check ALL of the information provided on the form. If you do not hear from us, it may be for a variety of reasons. A potential adopter may have already inquired about the kitten(s) or cat(s) prior to your application or adoption requirements may have not been met. As stated below, we ensure that the adoption is a right fit not only for you, but for the cat. We do not call on the initial application but will email you. Also, a Petfinder inquiry is not an application for our organization. You must fill out one of our applications. The form must be filled out in its entirety.

Adoptions must be done in person and the adopter must meet our kittens prior to the adoption. A friend or family cannot pick up the kitten for you. Meeting the kittens is done by appointment only as we are volunteer based and do not have a shelter. If you have any questions regarding our adoptable kittens, please email us at cat@4loveofcats.org. We DO NOT text on questions asked.

What veterinary care have the kittens and cats received?

We make sure that all of our adoptable cats and kittens are healthy and have had their first exam by our local veterinarian. All will have been spayed or neutered, along with deworming, and age appropriate vaccinations. Your adoption will come with their medical records and other information, plus some goodies for your new addition.

Advantages of adopting kittens in pairs

Giving your kitten a buddy will improve the lives of the cats while making your life easier. Cats are very social animals and having a companion will help them adjust to their new surroundings, stay active and overall, they will be happier. Keep in mind it is a bigger commitment, but may in the long run, benefit both you and your pets. We are big fans of adopting in pairs or adopting out our kittens to a home that has other cats.

Why do your community cats have an ear tip?

The foundation of our organization is our belief that TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) works and at the root of this is to spay and neuter to prevent the over population of animals. Kittens and cats that are part of our TNR program, receive an ear tip. The ear tip identifies that they have been sterilized. Our adoptable kittens do not receive an ear tip.

What if the cat or kitten is not a right fit for myself or family?

Any pet you choose to have is a commitment. It’s a time as well as financial commitment and this is something we state in our adoption form. We understand things happen, however, we ask very specific questions to make sure that the cat you adopt from our organization is the right fit for you and lives out his or her life in its fur-ever home. We invest a lot of ourselves into our adoptable cats and only hope that you love them as much as we do. If you have have any problems with the adoption, you are welcome or call or email us with questions or concerns.

Resources and Info

The one thing about having a pet, whether it’s a cat or a dog, they can’t tell you if something is wrong. And, there are going to be times when you have a question about your cat(s) and their care. It’s always good to seek professional veterinary care if you feel something is wrong. Like humans, cats can get sick and it’s good to have them looked at by a vet before something minor turns into a more serious issue.

There are some things that we feel are important to share with you being the cat lovers that we are. There are things we have learned along the way and topics we get asked about frequently. Cats are very self-sufficient but they still need the proper care to thrive and will in turn, be the best companion for you and your family.

Preparing for your new kitten

Getting a kitten is always exciting. We’ve always found it a fun age and a good time to bond with your new pet. Also remember this it’s a scary time for a young animal and will take time for them to adjust to their new surroundings. VCA Animal Hospitals has a great article on “Bringing Home Your New Kitten” and provides very good information on how to acclimate them to their new home.

Declawing

There are many people who have strong opinions on declawing a cat and we are one of those groups. We do not support declawing and there are many health and behavioral reasons not to declaw a cat. Just like trimming your own nails, trimming your cat’s nails regularly and having scratching posts in your home can prevent your cat(s) from scratching your furniture. The Human Society of the United States has good information on declawing and why it is bad for your cat.

Air Fresheners and Cats

The ingredients that makes air fresheners dangerous for pets. They can be very toxic to cats and cause a malady of health issues. PetMD by Chewy has a good article how Air Fresheners Can Affect Your Pet’s Health.

Cats and Nutrition

Food is definitely a big topic for pets. There are so many brands on the market and at varying price points. The ASPCA has a very good article on Nutrition and Your Cat. We believe in feeding cats both wet and dry food. Again, this is what we do and find that it works for us. Every cat is different and some may have certain dietary requirements. Like humans, providing the proper nutrition to your pet is beneficial in many ways. As the old adage goes, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Cats and House Plants

You may or may not be aware of plants that are toxic to cats. The ASPCA has a list of plants that have reported as having systemic effects on animals and/or intense effects on the gastrointestinal tract. You can also Google ‘plants toxic to plants’ to find additional information. You can have indoor and outdoor plants but these lists will make you more mindful when choosing which ones to buy.
