Adoption Process

How Adoption Works at Heidi’s Kitty Haven

Heidi’s Kitty Haven is a foster-based cat rescue. Our cats are cared for in foster homes and partner locations while they wait for their forever families. Because of this, all adoptions are based on an approved application and the best match for both the cat and adopter.


if you don’t hear from us right away, don’t fret; it doesn’t always mean you have been declined. Please be patient with us. We are all volunteers with full time jobs and families to take care of. 


Adoption applications generally take 10-14 days to process. In some circumstances, it can take longer.

Step 1: Submit an Adoption Application

When you feel you’ve found a cat that may be a good fit, please complete our Adoption Application.


Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption. Applications are reviewed to ensure the best possible match for each cat.

Step 2: Application Review

Once your application is submitted, our team will review it. If we feel it may be a good match, we’ll move forward to the next step.


Step 3: Foster Call

If your application is approved, we’ll arrange a call between you and the cat’s foster caregiver. This is an opportunity to learn more about the cat’s personality, behaviour, routine, and needs in a home environment and to ask any questions you may have.

Step 4: Meet & Greet

If both the adopter and foster feel it’s a good fit, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet. This may take place:

  • In person, or
  • Virtually, depending on circumstances and the cat’s location

Step 5: Home Visit or Reference Check

Depending on the cat and their specific needs, we may conduct a home visit or contact references to ensure the environment is safe and suitable.

Step 6: Finalizing the Adoption

Once approved, we’ll guide you through the adoption agreement and any final steps. Your new pet will come with vet records, vaccinations, and a microchip.
