This is the first step in the process of adopting a cat from Divine Felines Purebred Rescue.  Our Adoption Coordinator will contact you to discuss your application and any concerns or questions you may have.

We have beautiful cats for adoption to very loving people who provide indoor only homes with no declawing or tendonectomies (some cats may be already declawed).

All cats are adopted spayed or neutered with current vaccinations, micro-chips, and FELV/FIP testing.

Our non-refundable adoption fee ranges from $175 to $250.
Please remember that it is our healthy cats who get adopted that help make it possible for us to provide the necessary veterinary care for our ill cats so that they too can find a forever home.
