Adopt From Foster FAQs

What does it mean when a pet has the "Adopt From Foster" banner on their profile?

It means that the pet is lucky enough to spend their time in a foster home until they find a family to call their very own! They can be adopted right from their foster home versus having to be here at the shelter.

Where is this pet actually located?

They are in a loving foster home! All pets who have the "Adopt From Foster" banner will need an appointment in order to meet them. Sometimes, pets are met right in their foster home and other times, they are brought back to the shelter for a meet and greet - each situation may be a little different, but you and that pet's point person will work out those details!

How do I meet them/what is the adoption process?

The first step is to fill out the form that will pop up once you click the "Ask About Meeting Me button". From there, one of our staff members will reach out to you with more information about the pet and how to meet them.

Are you interested in helping a pet stay out of the shelter while they wait for an adopter?

We love to hear that! Become a foster volunteer at lollypop.org/foster. You will receive emails letting you know who is eligible for our "Adopt From Foster" program!

Bud is a striking 5-year-old brown tabby with a noble presence and a quiet love for the simple pleasures in life. This independent gentleman thrives in a calm environment where he can rule his peaceful kingdom from lofty perches. He delights in the art of bird watching, basking in warm sunbeams, and indulging in delicious canned food. His favorite pastimes also include scratching on his cat tree, rolling blissfully in catnip, and accepting gentle cheek scritches from those he trusts. Bud can get a bit conflicted over whether or not he wants human attention at times, so we are recommending he go to a home with cat-savvy people without small children. Bud is unfortunately not your guy if your looking for a hands-on, snuggly cat, but if you want a cool new roommate who just wants to live his best life, please give Bud a chance. If you're looking for a loyal companion who values serenity and a bit of solitude, Bud may be the purr-fect fit. Please email eborden@lollypop.org if you are interested in meeting Bud or have any inquiries!
