Reply to comment by Dryheavemorning in where to adopt a cat? by kittylover3210
oh wow I didn’t know that!! I have a couple of interesting prospects at ACCT so I’ll definitely reach out to them. thank you!

It was also a super easy process to adopt from ACCT when I did about a decade ago, hopefully still the same. Unlike some of the rescues that assume you're there just to eat cats and investigate you like you're trying to adopt a child.

just submitted an application for a listing that perfectly matched what I was looking for, cross your fingers for me :)

Just in case you don't know, you can submit an application to ACCT online but they won't view it or do anything with it until you come in to the building in person. They have the online option so that it streamlines the process when you get there, but don't do preapprovals or anything like that. If there's a cat you want, you should go in to meet it ASAP!
Apologies if you know this, but I see a lot of people miss the fine print and get upset when ACCT doesn't get back to them.
Good luck with your cat search!

ah, the listing I was interested is being fostered so per their instructions online I reached out to the foster via email about my application. do you know if I’d still need to go in person in that case?

Oh, no, in that case either the foster will get in touch with you, or ACCT will give you the foster's email address so that you can email them directly.
Sorry, I assumed it was a cat who was in the shelter! My mistake!

Do yourself a favor and adopt a pair. Bonded pairs are the best but not required. Cats tend to keep each other company and tend to adjust more easily. And, frankly, taking care of two isn't much harder than one apart from an extra litter box.

the listing I inquired about is a pair. I’ve lived with multiple cats growing up and I’ve done lots of research
