Thank you for your interest in adopting a cat from PAWS!
- Please check out our available cats and list the name(s) of the pet(s) you’re interested in on the line at the top of your application (below). If we are able to match you with the pet you listed we will reach out to you.
- If you are interested in adopting a specific pet on our social media, please submit your application and enter the pet’s name on the line at the top.
- If you are interested in adopting a specific cat who is in foster care, please submit your online application below, and then reach out to the foster parent directly (their contact info is noted in the pet’s bio on our adoption page) to let them know you have done so.
- If you’ve submitted an application already but see another pet you’re interested in, please email us at adoptions@phillypaws.org rather than submit a second application — we can just update the application we already have on file.
- If there isn’t a specific pet listed, we may not be able to prioritize your application but we will do our best to reach out as quickly as we can. If you are interested in having your application approved and then deciding on the right fit, feel free to note that in the pet name section of your application. Applications approvals are good for 3 months. If you don’t see anyone that seems like a fit for your home, please check back! We have new animals coming in regularly.
We are processing applications as quickly as we can: sometimes the volume outstrips our capacity, so we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding! If you haven’t heard from our team in over a week and are still interested in adopting, please feel free to follow up by emailing adoptions@phillypaws.org.
