Adopt a cat from Habitat – a pet becomes a family member.

Most of the cats and kittens we place for adoption were rescued by Habitat for Cats volunteers. Many of these animals have faced difficult beginnings — they may have been lost, abandoned, neglected, or born outside. Some have never known the comfort of a home. These kitties receive the love and care they need in our foster network before being made available for adoption.

🏡 No Traditional Shelter — Just Loving Foster Homes

We do not operate a traditional shelter. Instead, friendly rescued cats and kittens are placed in our foster homes for care and socialization until adopted through us or partner shelter organizations in MA. (This is in accordance with MA Rescue Group License # 0080).

Foster home adoption is a private, one-on-one process. This approach offers a calmer, quieter environment for the cats, giving adopters the chance to truly get to know each cat’s personality — as described and observed by our experienced volunteer foster parents.

💞 A Thoughtful Adoption Process We work closely with you to understand your needs and preferences to help match you with a compatible cat or kitten. Our goal is a successful, lifelong match, and we’re proud of our high success rate — based on over 20 years of experience in cat adoptions

The adoption fee is: $200 for cats or kittens.
The adoption fee will assist HFC in paying for the cost of medical care (spay/neuter, vaccines, etc) and foster care (approximately valued over $200).

Please read & review the adoption contract. The Adopter will sign the contract, in person, upon completion of adoption.

More Adoption Information-

Cats and kittens presented for adoption have received the following medical treatment:

•  spay/neuter surgery and a general veterinary wellness exam

• de-worming and flea protection medications (as required)

• one or more distemper (FVRCP) vaccination(s) (as required by age) and a rabies vaccination (age permitting)

• Cats and kittens are tested for feline leukemia (FeLV)
(due to the nature of the  Felv illness – on rare occasions, the cat may develop FeLV later in time after a negative test has been indicated; consult your vet if this occurs)

Adoption Policy:

Habitat for Cats will not allow the adoption of a particular cat if the cat’s needs, personality and temperament are not suited to the adopter or the adopter’s living situation. Our goal is to form permanent placement for the cat. For this reason, our Adoption Counselors have been trained to help you find the right cat for your home and your lifestyle. The adoption Contract covers the requirements for adoption.
