Full Adoption Rules & Care Standards
Hello! 😊
Thank you for your interest in adopting a cat from Cat Care Community. We care deeply for every cat we rescue and want to ensure they find loving, responsible, and safe homes.
Please take a few minutes to read our adoption guidelines 🐾
🧡 1. Responsible, Lifelong Commitment
Adoption is a long-term promise — cats can live 15–20 years. We’re looking for adopters who will treat their cat as a true family member through all of life’s changes.
Please remember:
Adjustment takes time — patience is key
Use calm, respectful communication with your cat
Support socialization, especially for cats rescued from the streets
🥩 2. Nutrition
Your cat must receive high-quality food with at least 70% meat content to stay healthy and thrive.
Recommended brands:
Carnilove, Applaws, Orijen, JOSERA, Leonardo, N&D, Farmina, Nature’s Variety, Royal Canin (except Babycat), Schesir, GranataPet, Ziwi Peak, Canagan, etc.
Avoid: food with sugar, colorants, artificial flavors, or grain fillers.
💧 3. Daily Care
Adopters agree to:
Provide fresh water daily and keep the bowl clean
Clean the litter box at least 1–2 times per day
Give attention, affection, and daily playtime
Monitor appetite, behavior, and health
