The adoption fee is $125. This helps to cover a portion of the costs associated with food, litter and all vet costs - deworming, flea meds, receiving all vaccines (FVRCP, FeLV, Rabies),

spaying/neutering, & microchipping.

**The adoption fee is nonrefundable and due at time of adoption.

Every kitty in our care will be fully vetted before going home - deworming, flea meds, received all vaccines (FVRCP, FeLV, Rabies), spayed/neutered, & microchipped. A copy of their medical records will be provided. (Unless special circumstances apply.)

Kittens/cats may go home the same day as long as they are fully vetted (deworming, flea meds, received all vaccines [FVRCP, FeLV, Rabies], spayed/neutered, & microchipped).

Be sure to bring a carrier (not a bag, pillow case, blanket, etc.) to take your fur baby home in. There are no exceptions to this! All kittens/cats must have secure and safe carriers for transportation. This is for their safety and yours.

At minimum, you will need the following supplies ahead of adopting your new furry friend. An email with links to purchase items and additional supply suggestions will be sent upon completion of the adoption application.

• Litter box (get one with a cover but take off the plastic door) (can get at Walmart) 

• Pooper scooper (can get at Walmart) 

• Litter

  - Tidy cats unscented clumping litter (can get at Walmart) 

  - HEB brand clumping litter (can get at HEB)

• Cat tree/scratcher

• Toys

It is important to know your new fur friend needs time to adjust and acclimate to your home. The best way to help them do so is to start them out in a small room so they feel comfortable, safe and can get used to the sounds and smell of their new surroundings.

You will want to spend time with them in this new space so they get comfortable with you and learn they are safe with you. This is of utmost importance for the bonding process.

We will discuss this in more detail prior to adoption.

It is important to know your new fur friend needs time to adjust and acclimate to each other. Bonding does not occur overnight and introducing cats to cats is a different process than cats to dogs.

You will need to ensure you have the time, patience and persistence needed to successfully support your new family acclimating to and being safe with one another.

We will discuss this in more detail prior to adoption.

We understand possible unseen difficulties that might result in needing to return your new kitty. We will ALWAYS welcome back any kitty adopted from our organization. Biscuits Cat Haven will always be a home for them to return to. Please do not hesitate to contact us if this difficult situation arises.

Please email us at [email protected] and include the cat’s name (and former rescue name if you know it) and explain your situation. We will reach out to you so we can discuss this further and come up with possible solutions.

TNR stands for “Trap, Neuter, Release” and is a humane method used when referring to the management and care of stray or feral outdoor cats.

When it comes to strays or feral cats, overpopulation is a huge issue, and they can also have potentially harmful interactions with humans if they are not vaccinated and fixed.

To help this, TNR programs are created, where rescuers will trap the cats, get them vaccinated and fixed, then release them back to their outdoor home.

Cats are actually great for the environment, helping with rodent and unwanted critter control, and when fixed and vaccinated, prove to be very beneficial and rewarding when they are properly cared for.

If you find stray cats in your community, there are several ways you can help.

First, provide food, water, and shelter to keep them safe and healthy.

If the cat seems friendly, check for a collar or tag and have them scanned for a microchip at a vet clinic or shelter to try to locate their owner.

If they are feral and unapproachable, consider reaching out to a local trap-neuter-return (TNR) program to help prevent overpopulation. Finally, contact a local rescue organization, like us, for advice or assistance. Every small effort can make a big difference in the lives of stray cats!
