Apply to adopt or foster

Before you apply

Please read these requirements carefully. They help us make sure every cat goes to a home where they can thrive.

• You must be at least 21 years old.
• Please answer every question. Incomplete applications may not be considered or answered.
• We try to place kittens under six months old in pairs, or as a friend for a cat already in the home.
• If we think one of our cats could be a good fit, we’ll schedule a video interview (about 90 minutes).
• We must meet and speak with everyone in the applying household.
• Every adoption and foster placement requires an in-person home visit and ID check before it’s finalized.
• Visa holders need at least 6 more months in Japan. For student visas, we need clear proof of financial resources and/or income.
• Fosters supply daily care themselves, including the high-quality food we specify. We cover medical costs as long as the cat is seen at our named vets. If chronic or serious health issues arise, we may ask for the cat to come back into our care.
• All ongoing communication is in English (unless special arrangements have been made).
• Fosters must send us regular updates. Adopters send us some updates too, even after the adoption is finalized.

Our screening is thorough because we want every cat to find the perfect home. Thank you for your patience! If you haven’t heard from us within 72 hours, please check your spam folder.
