Thank you for your interest in adopting from the Community Cat Coalition of Southern California. Please fill out this adoption application fully and accurately. Misrepresentations will disqualify your application and any future applications to adopt from our rescue. Please note that we will follow up with every application, but that an application does not guarantee adoption. 

 

Adoption Process:

1. Browse our adoptable cats/kittens

2. Fill out the 2026 adoption application

3. Home visit/Meet and Greet with your potential new pet

4. Pay adoption fee and fill out final paperwork

5. Take your new cat home!

​

*Please note, we require that all cats are either spayed/neutered prior to adoption, or if too young at the time of adoption we will work with you to schedule an appointment for spay/neuter as part of the finalization of your adoption paperwork. We will cover the cost of the spay/neuter through our vet, but if you have a preferred vet you will be responsible for the spay/neuter procedure costs. 

 

Adopters must be at least 18 years old. A valid photo ID is required. Renters should confirm their pet policy, including any deposit or additional rent requirements. If living with a roommate or parents, their approval for the adoption is needed. Adopters must be ready and able to commit time and resources for the cat's care and medical needs. All cats will come with their full medical record from their time in our care, and will be vaccinated. Due to the timing of booster vaccines, kittens may only have had their first dose at the time of adoption. 

 

2026 UPDATED ADOPTION FEES:

• Kittens (ages 8 weeks to 6 months - spay/neuter included) - $175 for 1, $250 for a bonded pair 

• Juveniles (age 7 months to 1 year - fixed) - $150 for 1, $250 for a bonded pair

• Adults (ages 1 year old and up - fixed) - $150 for 1, $225 for a bonded pair

• Seniors (estimated to be 7 years old or older) - $125

​

These fees cover a small portion of the costs for the vet care our cats receive while in our care. We do not make money off our adoptions and our only goal is to match our cats with loving homes that are the right fit for their personalities and temperament. We ensure every cat is vaccinated, chipped and spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

 

Adoption fees are due at the time of adoption finalization, we never ask for deposits before you meet the cats. If you are asked to send money by anyone claiming to be our rescue please contact us immediately. We only ask for monetary donations via Zeffy, which you can find this link on our website. 

 

“Free” kittens often do not come vetted and the average costs for the vet care our cats receive total $315 - $595: Dewormer and Flea Treatment ($25-$50) Microchip ($25-45), Vaccinations ($25-35 each x4) Spay/Neuter Surgery ($135-300), FELV/FIV Test ($30-60) 

***these costs are for demonstration purposes only, adopters will receive the full medical record for the cat with all applicable treatments. Actual costs may be higher or lower depending on your area.***
