Please read through all of our adoption policies and procedures before completing this application. To submit the application, simply attach it to an e-mail and send it to us at info@heavenlycreatures.ca
To qualify for adoption, the following criteria must be met:
- All sections of the form must be completed.
- This form must be filled out by the person adopting the animal. We do not give animals out as gifts to other adults.
- The adopter must be a minimum of 21 years of age.
- All adult members of the household must agree to take part in the interview process and further agree to all term and conditions regarding adoption of this animal.
There are fees associated with adopting a pet from Heavenly Creatures. These fees help us continue to provide proper care for our animals, as well as enable us to take in more homeless animals.
Our fees are as follows:
$55 - kitten
$100 – spayed/neutered adult cat (our adult cats are fixed before being put up for adoption)
Please Note: If you feel that you can only adopt a cat or kitten you can have declawed, we can add you to the wait list for one that has already been – please note that we do not permit a cat adopted through Heavenly Creatures to be declawed. For information on why we don’t support declawing, please visit our website http://www.heavenlycreatures.ca/blog/?page_id=69
** Please be advised that we are a volunteer organization that receives numerous applications for adoption, so it may take 24 - 72 hours for a response.

Please Note: We do not have a shelter; all of our animals are housed in foster homes. If you are approved for a cat, a time will be scheduled when you can meet the cat or cats in the foster parents' home (s). In some cases, we will bring cat(s) to your home.
If this Application is satisfactory to Heavenly Creatures:
1. A volunteer will contact you to commence the interview process (which begins with a phone screening of all adults in the home).
2. If you meet a cat and all goes well, you will be permitted to take the cat then and there for a trial adoption under a foster agreement (A trial of a week or so allows all involved to try to ensure a good match is being made).
3. If you decide that you wish to adopt the cat, a volunteer will do a home visit after the trial period (and sometimes before, too), at which time – if the cat is deemed by us to appear happy and healthy-you will pay the adoption fee and sign the adoption agreement.
Heavenly Creatures attempts to match each animal to a family that most suits the needs of that animal. Many animals generate a number of inquiries and a home is chosen based on what we believe to be best for that particular animal.
If you are denied, this is not to imply that you wouldn’t provide a proper home; if you are not selected we will keep you on file in the event another, similar animal becomes available.
