Please Read Before Applying
Before applying to adopt, we ask that you carefully read our “Are You Ready to Adopt?” section. This is a crucial first step to ensure adoption is the right fit for you and our cats.
At Toe Beans Animal Rescue Society, we strongly encourage the adoption of two kittens together whenever possible. While one kitten may seem easier, kittens actually thrive when they have a companion. Check out “Why Two Kittens Are Better Than One” section.
The Adoption Process
When you come to meet one of our adorable kitties, we want to make sure you both have time to get to know each other properly. Toe Beans does not adopt cats out the same day. We strongly encourage you to spend quality time visiting and interacting with the cats so you can find the best match for your household.
Once you’ve found a potential purr-fect companion, you may complete an adoption application for that specific cat. Our team will review your application and work with you to determine whether that cat is the right fit—or if another kitty may be better suited to your home.
Please note: Adoptions are not first-come, first-served. Our priority is always finding the best possible match for each cat.
Important Adoption Process Notes

Meeting the Cats
We highly recommend visiting the rescue and meeting the cats in person. Cat bios are written from the rescue’s perspective and may not fully reflect how a cat’s personality presents in a home environment.
Please allow plenty of time when visiting with the cats so you can get to know their personalities. Spending quality time with them helps you see how they interact, ensures a better match for your family, and gives the cat a chance to become comfortable with you. It's difficult to find the right match in just five minutes.
It's very common for adopters to arrive interested in one particular cat and end up falling in love with a different one after spending time meeting them, and that's perfectly okay! The goal is to find the best fit for both you and the cat, not just the one that first caught your eye.
Application Review & Approval
If your application is approved, you will be contacted by email or phone within 3 business days.

Important Policies & Notes
Outdoor-Only Homes
We do not adopt friendly companion cats to outdoor-only homes. If you are looking for a cat to live primarily outdoors, please visit our Working Whiskers Rodent Control Program section, where we have suitable feral and semi-feral cats available for working-cat placements.
Kittens will not be adopted to live outdoors.
Cats that have lived indoors, including those currently in foster care, will not be adopted to outdoor-only homes.
Indoor/outdoor homes may be considered only when outdoor access is supervised and provided in a safe manner.
Family Involvement
We strongly encourage all household members to attend the adoption meet.
If not all family members attend and the cat is later returned due to family compatibility issues, the adoption fee will NOT be refunded.
All returns must be made directly to Toe Beans Animal Rescue Society.
No Shipping
Toe Beans Animal Rescue Society does not ship animals under any circumstances.
Rescue’s Right
Toe Beans Animal Rescue Society reserves the right to refuse any adoption at its discretion.
