Adoption hours are subject to change. The following reflect updates as of January 2024.

Adoption Information

We are open for adoptions from 12 to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, by appointment only.

If you’re interested in adopting one of our Foster cats (their location will be listed as Foster Home), please contact adoptions@treehouseanimals.org.  

New appointment slots for the following week are now available every Wednesday.

If you can’t find an adoption appointment right now, don’t worry! Cancellations are common, so keep checking back or call us to see if there are any available slots.

Need to change your appointment? Just let us know and we’ll reschedule it for you. This way, someone else can fill your spot and find their new family member!

HOLDS

In order to ensure equity and to prioritize the health and safety of all of our resident cats, we do not place advance holds on any Tree House cats. We understand how easy it is to fall in love with a cat from our site or social media feeds, and how difficult it is to hear that cat has gone home to another family. If you and your family are planning on adopting, we encourage you to make an adoption appointment as soon as you can!

Ongoing Support

Tree House is committed to our cats (and their adopters) for their lifetime. If you adopt a Tree House cat and discover it is not a good fit, or if you have an emergency, or your circumstances change, we are here to help. Throughout the life of your pet, we will work to help you find solutions, even if that means your cat needs to return to Tree House.
