From the Foster Family: Toast (or Toaster or Toasty) came to live at our home along with her siblings.  She adjusted very quickly and has been great at using the litter box, eats well, and loves to play with toys, her siblings, and the resident cats in the house.  Toast has a sweet inquisitive nature.  The kids in the foster home are grade-school age and Toast is not scared by noise or busy kids, she will come out and find out what’s going on from a safe distance at first.  I find her sneaking up and sleeping right next to me many times.
About Me: Hi!  I’m Toast.  I came to live at my foster home with my siblings but I will be just fine being adopted by myself or with a friend.  We’ve been having a really fun time playing with toys, wrestling, chasing each other, and meeting new people.  I love a good nap in a sunny spot, or a snuggle while you’re snoozing.   I can always be entertained with wand toys!  There have been different cats in and out of my foster house and I have been getting along well with everyone, young and old.

3. Foster provider schedules a “meet & greet" with applicant. Resident dogs & ALL people (including children) living or frequently visiting the applicant's home are REQUIRED to attend the meet & greet.

4. If the foster provider & adopter agree to move forward, a home visit will be scheduled. Long-distance adopters can request home visit prior to meet & greet to avoid multiple trips.

5. After the home visit is approved, payment & adoption contract will be completed. You will receive your contract via e-mail from DocuSign & your invoice via e-mail from PayPal. PayPal can be paid by credit, debit or PayPal account (you do NOT need a PayPal account).

6. Once payment, adoption contract, & age-appropriate vetting are complete, the new owners can pick up their pet! Adopters are required to bring their own leash & collar at pick-up.
