KatyCattery Kitten Application

Thank you for considering adopting one of our Ragdoll/Maine Coon kittens! To help us ensure that our kittens are placed in loving and suitable homes, please fill out the following application form. Your answers will assist us in determining which kitten will be the best match for you and your family. 

*Please submit your answers below or email them to us at KatyCattery@gmail.com

Once reservations open, we often receive multiple applications for the same kitten. To be fair, we reach out in order, giving priority to families who show the strongest interest and best fit. 

For this reason, we encourage you to complete your application as thoroughly and specifically as possible, and to be fully ready for adoption—having done research and made preparations for bringing home a new kitten.
