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:

  • Instead of charging an adoption fee, we require all potential adopters to have 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)

What the Adoption Fee Includes:

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

  • 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 wants to be the only Queen in her castle (no other pets please).

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Dynamite

    Dynamite is a spunky, charismatic and very energetic little guy who loves to make friends with everyone. He will greet every human friend who comes to visit him with a few face kisses. He also enjoys a good cuddle session once he’s gotten his wiggles out. Good with other cats. Needs to go to a home with a cat around his age for a playmate.

  • Squeaky

    Squeaky is a gently, cuddly little lady. We say she has the soul of a senior cat already since her ideal afternoon is spent curled up in a sunbeam on someone’s lap for a quiet snuggle. She’s good with other cats but will likely hang out more with her person than other cats.

  • Cookie

    Cookie is an independent little lady who likes to hang by herself most of the day. She enjoys a good head rub once she trusts you and she might even come curl up next to you on the couch. Cookie would like to go to a home with another cat her age or get adopted with one of her friends at the rescue.

  • Knuckles

    Knuckles is a big tough guy who definitely doesn’t want a head rub….(he totally does but don’t tell him I told you that). He likes to be the big man in charge in his household and he’d do well with another younger cat that is okay with Knuckles being in charge. He is a very snuggly boy with his people and will talk your ear off at dinnertime to remind you to bring the food. He’s very active and playful, his favorite toy is a feather wand.

  • Milkshake

    Milkshake is a silly guy who is very talkative and loves attention. He has an odd obsession with feet (shoes, socks, sandals, barefoot, he’s not picky) but we love him, quirks and all. Milkshake would like to go to a home with another cat his age or be adopted with a friend from the rescue.

  • Earl

    Earl is a loving boy who likes to choose when he gets attention from people. He often forgets he likes attention since he had a rough start to life but a gentle head rub quickly reminds him that he’s living the good life now.

  • Buttons

    Buttons takes a while to warm up to new people but once she’s comfortable, she wants all the head rubs and scritches you can offer. Buttons would like to go to a home with another cat her age or get adopted with a friend from the rescue.

  • Wheezy

    Wheezy is a strong, independent lady who wants to be the only queen in her castle. She loves anyone who is willing to give her some head rubs and snuggle up together with her on the couch…as long as they’re human. She does not like sharing her humans with other animals and would like to be an only pet in her household.

  • Lyra

    Lyra is a snuggle bug once she warms up to her person. She takes a while to warm up to new people but once you’ve gained her trust, she will love curling up in your lap for some cuddle time. She needs a buddy to show her the ropes so she would like to be adopted with one of her friends from the rescue or go to a home with a cat.

    Cheesecake is a friendly, social butterfly who wants all the attention you can provide. Cheesecake is super social and would enjoy having a friend at home or being adopted with another cat from the rescue.
