Jack of All Cats Adoption Application

At Jack of All Cats, we prioritize the perfect match over a first-come, first-served approach. We believe that every cat has their person and every person has their cat. Our dedicated team works diligently to ensure that each feline finds a home where they can thrive. By carefully pairing up matches, we aim to create happy and healthy lives for our kitties, placing them in the best-suited homes. Our adoption process is designed to prioritize compatibility, ensuring a lifelong companionship that brings joy to both our cats and their new families.

Kitties are fostered in the DFW metroplex in Texas but available for adoption and transport out of state. If you would prefer to pick up the kitties yourself as an out-of-state adoption, please let us know if and when we reach out to schedule the virtual in-home walk-through and meet-and-greet so we can discuss the fees without transportation cost.

All of our Kitties are:

Spayed/Neutered
Microchipped
Tested for FIV/FeLV
Up to date on rabies, FeLV, and FVRCP vaccines (including boosters if needed)
Dewormed
Current on flea/ tick prevention
Treated for any other health issues that are present while in our care

Adoption Requirements

Must be 19+ to apply
Kitties thrive with a friend! We prioritize sending our kittens home in pairs or to homes already with other kitties.

Local Adoption Process

Every local adoption comes with a Whisker Warm-Up Window. This unique foster-to-adopt 2-week period was designed to create a seamless transition for both our kittens and their prospective families. This special timeframe allows you to foster our adorable feline friends, giving you the opportunity to experience the joys of their companionship before making a final commitment. During this period, you'll have the chance to assess compatibility, build a bond, and ensure a purr-fect match.

Adoption fees are refundable minus a $25 re-listing fee with the safe return of the kitties within the Whisker Warm-Up Window. You may also transfer the agreement and fee to do a trial with another one of our cats. It's our way of ensuring that both you and the kittens have the opportunity to find your happily-ever-after together, stress-free and with full peace of mind.

Fill out the Adoption Application.
If we choose to move along with your adoption process, we will conduct a home check over a video call. Please make sure that every household member is present at the time of the meeting.
If everything looks good, we will reach out to schedule a meet and greet where you can have an opportunity to play with your potential new family member.
If everything goes well and you are ready to adopt, you will enter a 2 week Whisker-Warm Up period to give you and the kitty time to adjust, get to know each other, and make sure you're both good fits for each other.
Adoption fees are fully refundable with the safe return of the kitties within the Whisker Warm-Up Window. It's our way of ensuring that both you and the cat(s) have the opportunity to find your happily-ever-after together, stress-free and with full peace of mind.
