Apply to Adopt or Foster

Thank you for your interest in adopting a companion animal through Neshama Animal Rescue. 

A note about adopting kittens!

It is the policy of Neshama Animal Rescue to not adopt out single young kittens if there isn’t another companion animal in the house. A companion animal is another cat, kitten, or a small friendly dog that would get along well with the kitten. This is a rule that many people don’t understand at first, but the companionship of another cat is so crucial to a kitten’s psychological and social development. Adopting more than one kitten significantly reduces the chances of the cat developing bad behavioral issues, and assures a more even tempered, friendly, outgoing personality.  Read more about our kitten adoption policy.

If you have a kitten and are looking for a friend for your kitten, we may have some single kittens available, but we will only entertain applications where the kitten will not be a single cat.

If you are only interested in adopting one cat and do not currently have another companion animal, please consider one of our many adult cats.
