Question 1

Where can I view adoptable pets?

Accepted Answer

You can view our adoptable cats online on our website, Petfinder, and Wagtopia. We update their availability in real-time.

Additionally, you can visit some of our adoptable cats at the Topeka Cat Cafe.

Question 2

How long does it take to process an adoption?

Accepted Answer

Once received, we process most applications within 48 hours.

Question 3

What is the adoption process for cats?

Accepted Answer

Once you have found a cat you want to adopt, you will fill out our adoption form. If approved, the cat's foster caretaker will reach out to you to set up a time to meet the cat. A virtual meeting may be scheduled if you are outside of our area. If your application has been approved and you are ready to adopt, please bring a carrier when you meet your cat. No cats are allowed to be transported without being in a cat carrier. 
​
Our adoption fees are $75 for cats over the age of four month and $100 for kittens under four months old.

All cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and come with a month's worth of Royal Canin food and a Wisdom Panel DNA kit.

Question 4

Do I need an appointment to see a pet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you have found a cat you want to adopt, you will fill out our adoption form. If approved, the cat's foster caretaker will reach out to you to set up a time to meet the cat. A virtual meeting may be scheduled if you are outside of our area.
​
Additionally, we often have cats out at the Topeka Cat Cafe. Please check out their website for current business hours and to schedule a time to visit.

Question 5

Do you do out-of-state adoptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The adoption process is the same for all adopters. The only difference with an out-of-state adoption is that a virtual meeting MUST occur before the adopters pick up the cat(s).

Question 6

Can I place a hold on any of your adoptable pets?

Accepted Answer

A hold can be placed on any officially adopted cat (s) (approved application + adoption fee paid). We will hold the cat up to 10 days after the adoption day for no additional cost. A holding fee of $5/week starting the day of adoption will occur if the cat(s) are picked up more than 10 days after the adoption. Adopted cats cannot be held for more than six weeks without board approval.

Our hold policy does not apply to cats adopted from the Topeka Cat Cafe.

Question 7

I have another pet at home. Can I bring them to meet the cat(s) I want to adopt?

Accepted Answer

We do not advise cat meet and greets. Instead, our foster caretakers will discuss the best way to introduce your new cat to your current pet(s) in the home.

Question 8

What are your adoption fees?

Accepted Answer

Our adoption fees are $75 for cats over the age of four month and $100 for kittens under four months old.

All cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, treated for fleas and worms, and come with a month's worth of Royal Canin food and a Wisdom Panel DNA kit.

Question 9

Do I need to plan for any other expenses for my pet other than my adoption fee?

Accepted Answer

Our adopters are expected to bring a cat carrier when they pick up their pet. At home, we recommend having a litter box, bowls, cat food, and cat toys. Additional items include a cat tree, cat bed, and collar.

Question 10

What happens if I need to return the pet that I adopted?

Accepted Answer

Not all adoptions are the best fit once they get to their new home. We require all animals adopted from the Street Cats Club to be returned to us if they will no longer live in your home. Please contact us at rescue@streetcatsclub.org to begin that process.
