Adoption Process

How to Adopt a Cat or Kitten from LAPS

Step 1: View Our Adoptables

View all of our adoptable cats and kittens, or feel free to come by the shelter between 11-5 Sunday through Saturday to view all of our adoptable animals in person.

Step 2: Fill Out an Adoption Application

If you see a cat you are interested in, the next step is to fill out our adoption application. If you are interested in more than one of our adoptable animals, please put all their names and ID #s on one applicaiton in the space provided. This application will give our adoption counsellors the necessary information to match you with the right cat depending on your lifestyle and household. Please take the time to fill the application out completely. Adoption applications can be found in the write up on each animal’s profile.

Visit the LAPS Portal to complete an application online.

Step 3: Application Review

Here at LAPS, we strive to match each animal to the best family. Our adoption counsellors take the time to carefully consider all applications that are submitted before making their final selections. If you are chosen to adopt a cat or kitten, our adoption counsellors will connect with you directly to further process your adoption. They will also be able to set up a time for you to meet the cat or kitten in person.

The adoption counsellors will be able to answer any questions you may have about the cat and advise you on any medical or special care requirements the cat may have. All information about the cat is disclosed so you can make an informed decision about adopting.

Step 4: Taking Your New Cat Home

Once your application is approved our adoption counsellors will then process the adoption. Our adoption counsellors will be there every step of the way to ensure you have the support you need. They will be able to advise you on the best practices to smoothly transition your cat into their new environment. Prior to adoption, all LAPS dogs and cats are spayed or neutered, tattooed or microchipped, and receive their first set of vaccinations. The adoption fee also includes a free check-up with a veterinarian within three days of adoption and six weeks of free Petsecure pet insurance. Now, its time to take your new family member home!

Annual Costs* for Cats

After the initial adoption fee, there are a variety of expenses that pet owners need to be prepared to face. To help you figure out what to expect, we’ve put together a table with the annual cost of caring for a dog or cat.

Private Adoption Info

New Beginnings Private Adoptions

Private Adoption through LAPS allows pet owners who need to rehome their pets to list their animals on our website, giving them greater visibility to potential adopters. This service helps connect pets with loving homes while ensuring the entire adoption process is managed privately between the current owner and the adopter. LAPS provides the platform for exposure, but all communication, decision-making, and final arrangements are handled directly by the owner and the prospective adopter.
