ZFF Cat Application | Zani's Furry Friends

During our application review, we may contact your landlord, veterinarian, and personal references. We may also contact you for further information and/or to schedule a home check. We do prefer to interview you and see how you interact with your new furry friend at the meow and greet. In cases of long distance, we do not ship but in some cases we can help with transport. If we cannot conduct a home visit, we may ask for fotos of your home, family, furries, or Skype/WeChat in lieu of the HV.
Please be patient while waiting for a response.

We ask each adopter for a tax deductible donation (see our FAQ).
The donation amount varies depending on the age/breed/origin of the cat, is due upon completion of the adoption, and helps us defray veterinary, travel, boarding and/or foster care expenses.

Please take the time to read the descriptions of the cats–don’t go by just a pretty picture! (It’s hard to be an ugly cat:). Then go to our faqs page to decide if you are the right home for a particular cat or you may want us to help make your purrfect match!

Please read our adoption contract and sign here.

Please be thorough in filling out the adoption application to help us to pair the best furry friend with the best home.

ADOPTION EVENTS: If you are planning on attending one of our adoption events, fill out our application 1-2 days beforehand to expedite the adoption process. Thank you!
