Adoption Application
Our adoption process includes an application that is screened by a committee, and we sometimes do phone interviews or even home visits to be sure that the cats are being placed in safe, loving, permanent homes.
We are an all-volunteer organization with outside full-time jobs. We will respond to applications within 48 – 72 hours. Due to volume of applications, only approved applicants will receive a follow-up.
You can download our Adoption Application and return it to TylerTXCats@gmail.com.
Prior to filling out this application, please read the 3-3-3 Rule to Adopting (3 Days, 3 Weeks, 3 Months).
3-3-3 Rule to Adopting
3 Days, 3 Weeks, 3 Months
The 3-3-3 Rule is a general guideline. Every pet is unique and will adjust to its new home at different paces. Patience is always key!
In the first 3 Days, your new pet may feel overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of what is going on. They may not feel comfortable being themselves, and this is very normal. Monitor your pet’s stress, and give them time and space to adjust to their new home.
In the first 3 Weeks, your new pet will start to settle into their home and begin to feel more comfortable. They will begin to realize that this place could be their new forever home. As they become more comfortable, they may begin to test the boundaries of their surroundings. Be patient with your pet and correct them with training to help them learn.
Within 3 Months, your pet will have finally started to feel comfortable in their new home. A bond of love and trust will have formed, and your pet will understand they are a part of a family now!
