Adoption Application Form

Thank you for your interest in our smelly cats! A few things to note before applying:

We are a home-foster-based rescue and do not have a public facility for open visits. Instead, we'll match you with the volunteer foster family for the cat(s) or kitten(s) of your choice for an in-home meet and greet upon application approval and availability.
Please read the application questions and consider your answers carefully before submitting.
An application does not guarantee or commit you to adopting a cat from Smelly Cat Rescue.
There is no fee to apply for our cats or kittens.
Kittens can't go home alone! We give preference to kitten applications that already have a young cat at home or are wanting to adopt kittens in pairs.
Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and able to pick up adopted animals from St. Louis or St. Charles county, Missouri.
Cat/Kitten adoption fee is $175 each and includes sterilization, vaccinations (starter vaccinations for kittens under 16 weeks), deworming, microchip and triple snap test. Payments can be made via the 'Shop' page on the website, cash or check made out to Smelly Cat Rescue.
Please be sure to check your junk mail! Sometimes our email responses can get sent to junk mail and if we don't receive a response, we could move on. We don't want you to miss out because of your spam filters!

Please email us at meow@smellycatrescue.org if you have questions! Thanks for your application - We can't wait to find you a FURever friend!
