Give Hope Cat Rescue Inc
Our Mission
At Give Hope Cat Rescue, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned, stray, and at-risk cats and kittens—while actively reducing overpopulation through our TNVR (Trap–Neuter–Vaccinate–Return) program. We focus on saving lives, one paw at a time, and giving every cat the second chance they deserve.
"Bringing Hope to Every Paw".
Adoption Policy
Give Hope Cat Rescue – Adoption Policies and Process
At Give Hope Cat Rescue, our priority is placing each cat or kitten into a responsible, loving, and permanent home. To ensure the best possible match between our animals and adopters, we have developed a thorough adoption process. Please review the following policies before applying:
Adoption Application Review
• Our application review process generally takes 1–2 business days. We do not offer same-day adoptions, as each application is carefully reviewed by our team.
• Approved applicants will be contacted to schedule a required home visit to evaluate the environment and ensure the home is a safe and suitable setting for the pet.
Adoption Requirements
1.) Age Requirement: You must be at least 21 years old to adopt.
2.) Senior Adopter Policy: Applicants 60 years or older wishing to adopt a kitten under 6 months must have a co-applicant under 60 years of age. The co-applicant must complete a separate form and agree to take over ownership if the adopter can no longer care for the kitten.
• This policy does not apply when adopting adult or senior cats.
3.) Identification: A valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID) is required. If your current address is not listed, you must also provide a recent utility bill or lease agreement for verification.
4.) Renters: If you rent your home, please provide your landlord’s name and contact information, or submit a copy of your lease agreement confirming pets are allowed.
Final Steps
• After your home is approved, we will schedule an appointment for you to meet and pick up your cat at one of our approved adoption locations—typically the foster caregiver’s home.
• Upon adoption, you will receive a Welcome Packet that includes:
- A copy of the adoption contract
- Your cat’s complete medical records and vaccine history
- Helpful tips on cat care and transitioning your new pet into your home
- New adopter coupons or resources (when available)
We are grateful to all applicants who choose to adopt and give a second chance to a rescued cat. Our goal is to ensure a successful, long-term match and a happy future for both the pet and adopter.
