Adoption Application

NOTE: Due to recent disaster at our SAFE HAVEN building, adoption applications are on a partial pause for cats previously residing at Safe Haven in Green Bay. At this time we will only process adoption applications for animals who are now in foster homes if you have already met them in person prior.

Adoption applications currently being accepted for all cats at PAWFFEE SHOP in Appleton as normal, though we still ask that you go and meet them in their cat lounge before applying. Thank you.
