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 click the "Ask About Meeting Me" button, which will take you directly to this pet's adoption page on Shelterluv. 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!

Butternut is a 9-year-old brown and white senior cat with a discerning personality, ideal for someone who understands and appreciates a cat that enjoys their space, and embraces the "roommate" vibe versus the snugglebug energy that some cats bring. Butternut enjoys the quiet company of patient humans, finding comfort in napping in cozy nooks, listening to classical music, and watching bird videos. His need for a calm and understanding environment makes him perfect for a cat-savvy person who can respect his boundaries and cherish his companionship. Interested in meeting Butternut? Please email jluce@lollypop.org to set up a time to meet him.
