BPR reviews applications in the order in which they are received, and an approved application will prompt an in-person meet and greet with the pet. Kittens are highly social animals and do best when they are adopted in pairs or to a home with another social cat. If you want to be a one cat home we often have adults that are available to be adopted solo. Adopters wanting to adopt our kittens in pairs are given priority over solo kitten adopters. 3. The applicant will be contacted once the review is complete, regardless of the outcome. This may take anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks. a. Once approved, and following a successful meet and greet, we will accept a $100 non-refundable deposit to allow time to prepare your home for your new dog or cat. This holds your adoption for 24 hours; we cannot hold an adoption longer and will continue with our reviews beyond this time period. The deposit will be applied toward the adoption fee. **PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT." b.

Animals will no longer be listed as "AVAILABLE," and the applicant, if not approved, should contact us via email. if interested in another animal.
