Yes! But you will still need to submit an application directly to the Humane Society of Hamilton County. After you are approved, you will go to the Humane Society to pay their adoption fee and participate in a brief interview—to make sure that your chosen cat is right for your household. After the interview, you can return to Smitten Kitten Cat Café to take your new family member home.
