Cat Application Form

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our wonderful cats. Little Tails receives numerous applications at any given time and do our best to respond to all applications. As we are a 100% volunteer organization, response times may vary. Please allow a minimum of 3 days before following up with us.

We do not cats out of state and primarily adopt in the South Florida area. Exceptions may be considered on a case by case basis. If you are out of the South Florida area, you will need to travel to Miami to meet the pet before your application will be considered.

Adoption fees for cats range from $75 to $175 and are tax deductible as Little Tails Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

To adopt or meet one of our cats, please start by completing an adoption application. All information submitted will be kept strictly confidential. Completion of the application form does not guarantee adoption of one of our dogs or cats. Each adoption application will be reviewed and considered at the discretion of Little Tails Rescue, Inc.

Thank you for considering adopting from Little Tails Rescue, Inc.
