So you’re interested in adopting a cat, that’s great! Our adoption process gives you the time and ability to find your new family member. We partner with you to help you find the cat(s) that will be best suited to you and your family. Here’s how our adoption process works:

First, all potential adopters must make at least 2 separate visits in which they are focused on spending time with the cat(s) they are interested in adopting. These appointments must be made at least a week apart to ensure that you are absolutely sure about the cat(s) you want and avoid any impulsive decision making in the moment. Please make sure you seriously think about what it means to own a cat, especially a rescue cat before adopting.

After your 2 visits, you will receive the adoption application which you can fill out and then and email to info@pawsandpumpkinsrescue.com or bring back physically to the shop. If your application is approved, you will be notified and you will be free to come pick up your new cat(s) during store hours.

Please call/email us at least 24 hours before you intend to come pick up your cat(s) so we can prepare them before they go.

Adoption fees:

$150 for kittens and adult cats (0-9 years old)

$75 for seniors (10 years old and up)

General Requirements

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will bonded pairs ever be split up. If you are interested in only one cat out of a bonded pair, you will not be approved to adopt them. Bonded pairs ALWAYS go together.

Please note that all of our cats are adopted out to indoor only households. If you have indoor-outdoor cats already, are looking for an indoor-outdoor cat or a barn cat, we recommend looking into some of the other wonderful rescues in the area.

The adoption contract requires all adopters to agree to never declaw the cat(s) they are adopting. If you, for any reason, ever need to rehome the cat(s) you’ve adopted, you must ensure the next owner also agrees to this.

Paws and Pumpkins Rescue reserves the right to refuse any adoption applications for any reason.

Adoption Process

Adoptable Cats

  • Thackery Binx and Oreo

    Meet Thackery and Oreo, a bonded pair of brothers! Thackery is a mischievous little explorer who wants all the attention you can give him. Oreo is a bit more laid back. He loves sitting in the window, watching the birds hop around outside. Thackery will want to perch on your shoulder as you walk around to observe what you’re doing. These two sweet boys need each other and have to go together.

  • Indigo

    Indigo is a very sweet, timid girl. She will take a while to open up to new people but once she does, she will want all the head rubs you can give her! She will need to go to a quiet home, preferably with no small children. She gets along well with other adult cats with a proper introduction, though she’d prefer to be an only cat.

  • Pawl

    Pawl loves snuggles and hanging out with people. He spends most of his day in a cozy bed or following around whoever is in his room until they give him attention. He gets along well with dogs and cats.

  • Willow

    Willow is a calm, sweet girl who would like a nice snuggle buddy in her forever home. She is very affectionate and wants to be involved in whatever her people are doing. She would love a kitten or young adult cat friend in her household to keep her company.

  • Aspen

    Aspen is a playful little explorer. She loves playing with her kitten friends and exploring new places. She would like a kitten or young adult cat friend in her home to keep her company.

  • Scarlet

    Scarlet is a shy but sweet girl who would love a calm, quiet home to relax in. She’ll take a while to open up in new spaces but once she does, she will want all the chin scritches you can give. Her favorite things are feather wands and cat tree baskets. She would love a kitten or young adult cat friend in her household to keep her company.

  • Missy and Flame- Available January 10th

    Bonded brother and sister pair, Missy and Flame are polar opposites. Missy is a little ball of energy who loves to explore and run around. She especially likes chasing pom pom toys and springs. Flame, although he and his sister do have their fair share of play sessions, would rather spend his time cuddled up with someone. He’s a total snuggle bug and it doesn’t matter to him who he’s cuddling with as long as he’s getting attention. The one thing they can both agree on is taking naps in someone's lap.

  • Slinky

    Slinky is a very shy, skittish girl but she warms up to her person with enough patience and understanding. She would love a calm, quiet home where she can take her time getting comfortable with her new family. She needs to go with one of her kitten friends, Prince, Scarlet or Dynamite or to a home with a kitten about her age to help show her the ropes.
