My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elijah is a beautiful black kitty with a stubby tail. He was brought to the refuge with his siblings Rulo, Georgie, Nola, Bruce and Puma I. Elijah experienced a bad reaction to his first rabies vaccination, and as a result he developed some special needs. Siglinda has been working with Elijah to help him with these issues, and we’d love for him to find a dedicated foster or adopter willing to provide the supportive environment that he needs to thrive. Elijah is fine around other cats and would be perfectly content in a home with another easy-going young cat. Approx. DOB: 03-01-2019

Interested in adopting a Goathouse cat or kitten? Then please start by completing the following steps required in our screening process:
1) Complete our online adoption application: Visit www.goathouserefuge.org/adoption-application/ to get started!
2) Arrange to visit the cat(s) in person
3) Complete a home visit: Once you confirm that you've visited in person with the cat(s) of interest and completed the online application, your responses will be reviewed by the refuge staff so that a volunteer member of our home visit team can contact you to schedule a visit. Only after a representative of the refuge has visited the applicant's home will the refuge consider continuing with the adoption process.
