Adoptions

Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue cat! Our team works hard to match adopters with the best possible cat for their home. Read on to learn what’s included with Felius adoptions, how the process works, and our important policies.

What’s special about adopting from Felius?

We set you and your new feline friend up for success from day one. Every Felius cat goes home ready for a fresh start: spayed or neutered, microchipped, parasite-treated, rabies vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV tested when age-appropriate. And we never declaw, period.

Plus, you’ll take home over $250 in free goodies from our friends at Royal Canin and World’s Best Cat Litter, including a DNA panel so you can find out what your new family member is made of!

Our adoption fees vary by age.

Younger cats need more vet care before they’re ready to go home, like booster vaccines and the occasional vet checkup. Our fees reflect that investment, so every cat leaves Felius healthy and ready for life with you.

Bonus: our lower fees for adult and senior cats make it even easier to give a seasoned sweetheart a loving home.

The adoption process.

Please note: We do not hold cats for adopters who haven’t been approved. You can select cats you are interested in when applying, but we operate on a first-approved, first-served, basis. Submitting an application doesn’t guarantee a specific cat will be available at time of approval.

STEP 1: Apply
Our volunteer processor will contact you within 48 hours and will:

  • Confirm landlord approval (if you rent)

  • Confirm current pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and are spayed/neutered

  • Call personal references

  • Conduct a quick virtual home visit

STEP 2: Meet Your Match
Our Rescue Coordinator will schedule your cat meet-and-greets.

  • You get two free 30-minute cafe visits to find your feline friend!

  • Once you’ve talked with our Rescue Coordinator, we can hold an available cat for up to one week.

STEP 3: Finalize Adoption
Sign the contract and pay the adoption fee online!

DID YOU KNOW?
Felius offers a Foster-to-Adopt program that lets you take your new cat(s) home for up to two weeks before finalizing the adoption. That way, you can be sure it’s the right choice for both your family and the cat. Just ask our Rescue Coordinator about this option!

Adopter testimonials

  • “I adopted from Felius because they work so closely with Omaha vet clinics. I knew I could trust Felius because I know they are more than “rescue work.” Felius cares about their cats and goes out of their way to take care of them. My cat, Majesty, is thriving. Her personality shines through more each and every day. Majesty didn’t come from the best of situations but she’s living her best life now.”

    Amy D, Felius Adopter and Volunteer

  • “I’ve been a volunteer at Felius since 2022. I love the mission of bringing people and cats together and appreciate the fact that the cats receive great care and all the medical stuff they need prior to adoption. I would not want to adopt from anywhere else. We adopted Gifford in August 2025 and Mario in November 2025 and these boys have become the best of friends! "

    Tara K, Felius Adopter and Volunteer

  • “One of the best places in Omaha! Whether you are looking to adopt or just hang out with some cats, this is the place to be. We adopted one of our cats here and appreciated the foster-to-adopt period while both cats acclimated to each other. Our new kitten is very well socialized thanks to Felius!”
