Adopt a Cat

Adoption Interest Survey

Complete this Interest Survey if you would like to adopt a cat.

Thank you so much for your willingness to open your home to a rescued cat or kitten from SAFE Haven for Cats!

After your Adoption Interest Survey is submitted, you may also get a call from one of our adoption counselors to discuss your thoughts about your new (cat) family member.
