Adoptions

Prior to adopting a cat from our foundation we would like to get to know you better. Please see it from our perspective. Rescuing cats involves a lot of time, emotions, not to mention expense. It is our responsibility to ensure the best possible match between the potential adopting family and our cats accounting for their safety and level of care.

Adoption process

Before we start…
Read the info below
We described here everything you should consider before adopting a cat
Stage 1
Fill in the adoption questionnaire
We are asking some basic questions about your experience with animals, safety issues, your preferences about the cat. We need to know in which areas we need to support you.
Stage 2
Pre-adoption meeting
We would like to meet you in person. We will advise you on the safety arrangements at your place, healthy diet, catification of your flat. This is also a chance for you to ask us some questions.
Stage 3
Meet the cat
You can meet a cat (or a few of them) in a foster home or our cattery. You will learn about his/her personality, look him/her in the eyes and “check the chemistry”.
Stage 4
Sign up an adoption contract
When you make up your mind, we will bring the cat to your place and sign a contract to confirm everything we agreed on before.

Cats in Wroclaw

The population of feral cats in Wroclaw is estimated for 40 000 animals (according to Wroclaw Animal Shelter). Lucky enough for them there are some wonderful people in town, who love animals and take care of the street cats too. Most of them have been doing this for years. We call them officially Voluntary Cat Carers.

They feed, trap and neuter the cats. Unfortunately the reality is still bad and their life is not easy. They often become victims of aggression: from people who don’t like cats, buildings administrators, owners of the land.
