Adoption Procedures
1. Look over the selection of cats via website.
2. If you do not find what you want, please ask. Limited space prohibits us from showing all the cats we have available for adoption.
3. Complete an application. You can fill out our online application here, or pick up an application at any of our adoption events.
4. Review of application by Lifeline. A Lifeline Board member will review your application and get back to you within a day or two.
5. Home visit, virtual or by appointment. Two Lifeline members will visit your home to check for safety issues (i.e. loose screens, doggie door, balcony safety.)
A virtual home check may be done by sending pictures of your home.
6. Approved Application. Once the application, review and visit are complete and approved, Lifeline will set up a time to deliver the cat/dog to you.
7. Delivery Day. Plan ahead!! Be prepared to spend the entire day and evening home with your new pet. This is their big day!! The Adoption Contract will be completed and signed at this time and the adoption fee will be collected. You may pay by cash or check (Payable to Lifeline for Pets).
8. 2 Week Trial Period. During or after that time, together we will determine whether you will keep the cat or return it to us. We want it to be a good fit.
1 cat = $125
2 cats = $150
Senior cat (over 8) = $75
Senior for Seniors = $50
2 cats = $150
Senior cat (over 8) = $75
Senior for Seniors = $50
Included in adoption fee: Vaccinations, de-wormed, FELV/FIV tested, vet checked, spayed/neutered, microchipped.
What about a “free” cat from a neighbor? A “free” cat is only free if you don’t pay for the procedures that will keep your cat healthy and prevent it from adding to the problem of overpopulation. The test, shots, treatments and surgery covered by our adoption fee would cost you over $300 on your own.
NOTE: Dog fees vary. Please call 626-358-3726 for information.
