Helpful Adoption Information

In order to help with the transition of your new cat to its new home, we have created a checklist of items that you might need to purchase prior to your cat's arrival. This includes the food that cats are eating at The Dancing Cat and the kind of litter that we use. Click here to download our current checklist.

If you’re on Facebook, we have a special group set up for Dancing Cat adopters to share their photos.  There’s no such thing as too many cat photos! Or just like our main Facebook page to keep up with what’s going on at The Dancing Cat.  You can follow us on Instagram as well; we’re @thedancingcatsj.
