FAQs
How do I adopt a cat from your rescue?
Check our Adopt page to see our many wonderful kitties up for adoption. You can also see some of them through our Facebook page as well. Then, fill out an adoption application and we’ll take it from there. Once approved, we’ll help connect you with cats that could be just the right match for your home and family.
What is your adoption fee, and what does it cover?
Our adoption fee is $150 and covers a veterinary exam, covers spay/neuter surgery, testing for feline HIV/FeLV, and up-to-date vaccinations. This ensures your new companion arrives happy, healthy, and ready to settle in.
Can I meet a cat before adopting?
Absolutely! After we receive your adoption application, we’ll give you every opportunity to meet the cat in their foster home, where they feel most comfortable and at ease. An adoption application must be submitted first. Email us for more details.
What happens if the adoption isn’t working out?
We understand that life is unpredictable and sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise. We can help you work through most issues involving introducing a cat into a new environment. If you find yourself unable to keep your adopted cat, please contact us as soon as possible so we can work together to get them back into our foster network and find them a new loving home.
Can you help me rehome my cat?
As an all-volunteer organization without a physical facility, we’re unable to accept cats for rehoming at this time. Our capacity is currently limited to finding homes for cats already within our foster network. We know this can be a difficult situation, and we’re truly sorry we can’t do more. We’d encourage you to reach out to other rescues in Middle Tennessee, as they may be able to help. Please see the question below for a list of options in the area!

I found a sick or injured cat. What should I do?
If you find a sick or injured cat, please seek veterinary attention for them as soon as possible. A vet can also check for a microchip to help identify the owner. As an all-volunteer organization with limited resources, we are not always able to assist directly. Please refer to the two questions above for our list of other middle Tennessee cat rescues and our recommended veterinarians.
I know of cats in a dangerous area or unwanted colony. Can you help?
Please let us know! We welcome tips about cats in unsafe situations or unmanaged colonies in your area. We will do our best to assess the situation and attempt trapping if necessary.
What is TNR?
TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Return. It is a humane and effective method for managing feral cat populations. Cats are humanely trapped, brought to a veterinarian to be spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and then returned to their outdoor home. TNR helps stabilize colony populations over time, improves the cats’ quality of life, and is widely recognized as the most compassionate approach to community cat management.
