Our Adoption Process
To ensure that our cats find loving, responsible, and committed homes, Cat Noir Rescue has a thorough screening process for all potential adopters. We reserve the right to decline any adoption applications if we determine it is in the best interest of the animal.
The first step is to complete our Adoption Application Form, which can be submitted online or via a downloadable PDF upon request. Please note that submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt a specific cat or kitten.
If your application is approved, we will arrange a meet and greet, giving you the opportunity to interact with the cat or kitten you’re interested in. Following this, if both parties are ready to proceed, you'll be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee to finalize the process.
Lastly, a home visit or the home delivery of your new cat or kitten will be required to complete the adoption. This step helps us ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
Adoption Fee & What it Covers
Did You Know?
The $175 adoption fee at Cat Noir Rescue is far less than what it would cost to rescue a "free" kitten on your own. In Southern California, the average costs add up quickly:
Spay/Neuter: $150–$600
Vaccinations (FVRCP, Rabies, FeLV): $60–$100
Microchip: $25–$50
Deworming/Flea treatment: $25–$75
Total out-of-pocket: $260–$952+
Adoption Fees & What They Cover
Our adoption fee is $175 for kittens and cats up to 10 years old. For senior cats over 10 years old, the adoption fee is reduced to $75.
Before adoption, all of our cats receive essential veterinary care and will have been:
Spayed or neutered
Microchipped
Treated for fleas and other common parasites
Dewormed
Vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines, including FVRCP, FeLV, and rabies
Vaccine Series
Depending on a cat or kitten's age and how long they have been in our care, some vaccine series may still be in progress at the time of adoption.
Kittens receive a series of FVRCP vaccinations spaced several weeks apart as they grow. Similarly, a newly rescued adult cat may be adopted before completing all recommended doses in their FVRCP or FeLV vaccine series.
If any additional vaccine doses are due after adoption, the adopter is responsible for completing the remaining series with their veterinarian. We will provide the cat's available veterinary records so you know what has already been completed and what may still be due.
Where Your Adoption Fee Goes
Adoption fees do not cover the full cost of rescuing and caring for our cats.
In addition to routine veterinary care, we provide necessary medical treatment based on each cat's individual needs. This may include diagnostic testing, bloodwork, fecal testing, X-rays, medications, treatment for upper respiratory infections or other illnesses, and surgery for injuries or congenital conditions.
When a cat requires more extensive medical care, the cost to the rescue can far exceed their adoption fee. Additional donations are always greatly appreciated and allow us to continue helping cats and kittens who need us most.
Once an adoption is finalized, the adopter assumes responsibility for the cat's ongoing veterinary care and associated expenses for the remainder of their life.
Our Return Policy
If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you’ve adopted from us, you can do so within 10 days for a full refund of the adoption fee.
After that — be it months or years later — if you need to give up your cat for any reason, we require that you must return him or her to Cat Noir Rescue. We won’t be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place him/her in a new home. This policy is in place because we don’t ever want our kitties to end up on the streets or at a city shelter ever again.
