How To Adopt A Cat From Petco
You’re ready to adopt a cat! We’re here to help. From finding the right cat for you, to completing an adoption questionnaire and having a meet and greet, we’ll walk you through it all. In no time at all you’ll be able to bring your new kitty home with you!
Step 1: Find the right cat for you.
Before you start looking for your perfect cat, think carefully about what you want to get out of the relationship. There are a lot of factors to consider, such as age and gender; activity level; grooming needs; health history; litter box preferences; food preferences; and social needs. Take some time to do some research on cats that might be a good fit for you so that when it comes time to meet them in person, you’ll know exactly what qualities are important for your family—and more importantly, what type of cat will be happy living with the people who have adopted her.
You should also make sure that the Petco near where you live has an adoption center staffed by knowledgeable employees who can help guide potential adopters through their decision-making process.
Step 2: Complete a pre-adoption questionnaire.
The pre-adoption questionnaire (PAQ) is a tool used by organizations who place special-needs animals in new homes. The PAQ is designed to help prospective adopters determine whether they are a good fit for the animal they’re considering. This can be especially helpful if you are adopting an older pet, or one that may require extra care and attention going forward.
If you choose to adopt from Petco, you will need to complete the PAQ before being able to bring home your new cat companion!
The PAQ should take about 20 minutes to complete—but don’t worry about rushing through it either; all answers are confidential, so there’s no pressure here! The benefit of filling out this form is that it allows both parties—you and Petco—to make sure that everyone understands each other from the beginning as well as setting expectations for what will happen once your kitty comes home with you.*
Step 3: Have a meet and greet with your new cat!
- Bring your cat to the shelter!
- Bring your cat’s favorite toys, food and bed for a more comfortable visit.
It’s important that you get to know this new creature before you bring it back home with you. You’ll have time to get acquainted, but don’t be surprised if it takes some time for them to warm up to you!
Step 4: Complete the adoption survey if you would like to adopt your new cat.
After you’ve picked out your new cat, it’s time to complete the adoption survey.
You can find this on the Petco website. If you’d prefer not to adopt from home, you can also complete the survey at one of our adoption centers or by picking up a form at one of our stores for completion later.
Step 5: Sign the adoption contract.
Once you’ve found your feline friend, it’s time to fill out the adoption contract. You will need to show proof of address and ID as well as proof of income. Petco also requires that you have a safe place for the cat before they can be adopted out. After filling out these forms and paying the fee, you are ready to take your new pet home!
