Foster-to-Adopt
So You’re thinking aBout adopting but want to foster the cat first…this is the program for you!
Our Foster-to-Adopt Program is for cats that are not in our adoption lounge, but still need a home! These cats are available to be fostered before their adoption is finalized. Since you are not able to meet the kitty first, we offer a foster period of seven days for you to see if it's a good fit. You will take them home and get to know their personality over the week. If after seven days all is going well, we would finalize the adoption paperwork.
The cats in the lounge at The Catcade are not available for Foster-to-Adopt. Only the cats listed on this page are available to foster before adopting.
If there is a cat below that interests you, please email Elle at elle(at)thecatcade.org
Condessa - female, 1 year old *adoption pending
Condessa is actively working on her skills so she can run away and join the circus. I’m sure that if you provide her with enough standing ovations for her acrobatic skills and treats, she would be happy to bring the circus right into your home. Of course, I call it a “circus”, but really it’s just her doing her adorable acrobatics and then falling asleep on the couch beside you in weird positions. If you don’t mind a little bit of gymnastics in your home, Condessa could add the right spice to your life.
Condessa would love to be the only cat in the home so she can completely rule your heart.

Optimus Prime - male, 3 years old
This big hunk of tabby love is just the best. I might be a bit biased because I favor a brown tabby, but still. Even if he wasn’t a brown tabby, I’d love him anyways. Optimus Prime doesn’t need to transform himself to win your heart. Also, just to be clear, he can’t actually transform into a car or anything, so don’t apply if you’re looking for a cat/car combo. But! It would be funny if you adopted Optimus Prime and then had your autocorrect change “cat” to “car”, because….you know… he’s named after a - yeah explaining my own jokes. Not good.
Anyways. Optimus Prime is a wonderful cat who is doing really well as a solo guy in the home with lots of attention and play time. He would probably get along well with other relaxed cats in the home.

Ciara - female, 3 years old
Do you want someone to follow you around and tell you how beautiful you are? Meet Ciara. This beauty mark queen is a little lovebug. She enjoys chirping like a bird, spending time with her humans, chin scratches, and being told she’s perfect (same). Also, she cannot play poker because you she wears her emotions on her face (also same) and is quite expressive! Guaranteed to be a meme at some point in her life.
Ciara loves all humans but would prefer to be the only kitty in the home.

Bean (male) and Cloudgate (female) - 4 months old
This brother and sister duo have it all… looks, personality, being absolutely adorable… and they’re available for foster-to-adopt (have we lost our minds?!). They love people, get along with other cats, and are pretty much the total package. They must be adopted together.
Medical costs: $150 each ($300 total)
Slinky - male, 3 years old
Slinky is just a little guy who is looking for his forever person who doesn’t mind him following them around forever. When he meets new people he’s rather shy; he’s going to need someone who isn’t afraid of a little work before he gets fully comfortable. Once that sleek exterior shell has been cracked, this kid is as sweet and cuddly as chocolate pudding. I don’t know how cuddly chocolate pudding is, but it makes sense in my head. Slinky isn’t really much of a playing guy, he won’t chase soft toys or wands. He’d rather talk to you about your day and be glued to your side. Slinky might be the kind of cat you could get a baby wrap for, he will love you that much.
Slinky’s ideal home is a quiet environment where he is the only cat.

Marge (male) and Marie (female) - 3 months old
These two playful siblings are the perfect pair! They absolutely love wrestling, chasing each other around, and generally keeping one another entertained. They also enjoy the company of other cats and would love a home where they can continue to have a feline friend around. When it comes to humans, they’re a little more reserved. They may be shy at first and will need some time to feel comfortable in a new home, but once they’ve had a chance to settle in and realize they’re safe, they’ll happily hang out with you.
Marge and Marie will need a patient adopter who is willing to put in some effort and wait for them to come out of their shell. A home with other cats that they can be friends with would be ideal, but is not necessary. These two are a bonded pair.

Larry - male, 1 year old
When you think of an orange cat, do you think of a wild and crazy boy cat that is ready to cause chaos and destruction? Yes? Well throw that stereotype out the window. Larry is the most polite gentleman I think I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. That sweet orange face just wants to be nestled right up into your coziest blankets and enjoy a snooze in the sun with you while you watch whatever it is you’re rewatching on tv. After a rest and recharge and a snack, Larry is ready to play with his toys by himself, but you have to watch and tell him he’s doing a good job. You just have to, I do not make the rules.
Larry is enjoying life in his foster home with young children, and peacefully coexisting with other pets. He could be happy by himself in an attentive home, or with other relaxed pets.
