Jimmy is a curious, playful kitten with a wild story - he hitched a ride from Royse City to Garland underneath a car! After spending a whole day and night on the move, he was rescued by kind neighbors who heard him meowing. Jimmy was a little shaken at first, but he’s quickly blossomed in his foster home. Now he’s full of energy, affection, and ready to find a forever home where he can explore, play, and never have to take a road trip like that again!

Jimmy is too young to be eligible for a full adoption. However, he is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program! 

Foster-to-Adopt Program Details

1. 
   

   We are an all-volunteer, foster-based, non-profit organization

   We don’t have a physical location; all cats and kittens live in foster homes until they are formally adopted.

   
   


3. 
   

   Our foster-to-adopt program allows us to match cats and kittens with their forever family before they’re eligible for adoption.

   Eligible cats and kittens are placed in a foster’s home with the intention of adoption after required medical care is completed.

Our Adoption Process:

1. Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo an in person or virtual home visit from an RHS representative.


2. Complete Application.  https://www.richardsonhumanesociety.org/adopt/


3. Phone Interview/Vet Check. Compatible applicants will be forwarded to a counselor who will contact the applicant for a phone interview. We also get a reference from your vet, if applicable.


4. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in. We will try to include the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Due to COVID, we may ask you to send a video of your yard and the pet's expected living space.


5. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at your home or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $135 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets.
