What to Expect
We like to make adoption from Four Paws to Love fun and easy! You can drop by anytime during our event and meet our kitties, no appointment necessary. We have a special tent set up so you can get to know them outside of their kennel and see their unique personalities. We are either outside in front of the store or inside the store. If you don't see us outside then come on in!
Here are some things to know before you come so that you can be prepared to bring home the purrfect addition to your family.
Spay/Neuter policy: All of our animals MUST be spayed or neutered before they are allowed to go to their new home. Most of our animals will have been altered before they come to our adoption events. However, if we have a smaller number of available kittens some will be offered before their surgeries in a "pre-adopt" situation. This means that you can reserve them by paying the adoption fee and then, as soon as they are spayed/neutered and have a few days of recovery, they will be released into your care and the adoption will be processed.

Applications: Please fill out and submit an application prior to your visit with us. It will make things go faster and smoother if you are already pre approved. The application tells us about your family and what you are looking for in a pet. It will help us to find the perfect new family member for you!
Applications can be found here:
What to bring:
-
Your entire family
If everyone involved in the care of the pet comes, it minimizes the possibility of returning the animal because one or more of your family members does not agree with the choice or doesn't make a "connection" with the pet. We also like to help you parents out by talking with the kids about responsible pet ownership. It also makes it so much more fun!
-
A copy of your lease
If you are a renter, we need proof that you are allowed to have a pet on your premises. This alleviates the possibility that pets are returned because landlords discover an unapproved pet on their property.
-
A kennel
We will not release one of our babies without a proper kennel for the journey to their new home.
