Adoption Process and Donation Information

"After 1.5 years without a dog, our hearts (and home) were finally ready again. We are so excited to welcome Otto, our sweet lab terrier mix, to the family and can’t wait to watch the special bond he’s going to build with the boys. It already feels like he was meant to be part of our crew. A huge thank you to Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary in Chapel Hill for such an easy, thoughtful adoption process and for the incredible facilities and care they provide for their pups. You can truly feel the love there. Welcome home, Otto! We are so excited for all the adventures ahead 🐶✨"

Adopter

1. (You) Apply to Adopt!

We are so glad that you want to bring a rescue pet into your home! In order for us to find the right pet for you, we need to learn more about you. We ask you to submit a relatively simple and straightforward adoption application first so that we can begin this process.

2. (We) Review Your Application

We will review your application as soon as we are able to do so - and often quite quickly! 


We prioritize adoption applications because the sooner pets can find their permanent family, the better! If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact you for better clarification.

3. (You and We) Have a Conversation.

We will set up a time to speak, so that we can discuss your preferences and the animals you may be interested in - and any questions you or we may have. Unless there are any notable issues, you are approved to adopt after this step!

4. (We) Match You With Your Pet and You Visit with Them.

Based on our conversation, and the availability of animals in our care, we will match you with a pet to meet. After that, you will meet them, at either the sanctuary or a foster's home, to determine if they will be a good fit for your family!​

5. (We) Send You the Adoption Agreement, Link to Donate - and Finalization the Adoption.

Assuming all went well, we send you our Adoption Agreement and are available for any questions you may have. The entire adoption finalization is done digitally, unless you would prefer to meet in person to discuss it further. Once you sign the agreement, you pay the Adoption Donation. After that, Congratulations!! You have successfully completed your adoption!

6. (We) Send You Your Pet's Medical Records and all Pertinent Information.

Your pet will have already received medical care, vaccinations, preventatives, a microchip - and, sometimes, some procedures or treatments.We make sure you have all this information, as well. Plus we send alone a few goodies!

Description:

Adopting a cat or kitten from Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary means welcoming a life into your home that has already known care, consistency, kindness, and genuine affection.

Every cat and kitten in our adoption program is given time to decompress in a calm, supportive environment. They receive high-quality, nutritious food, thoughtful veterinary care, daily socialization, and enrichment designed to build confidence and curiosity—along with a great deal of affection. Our team takes a careful, individualized approach to matching each cat with the right home, setting both cats and their people up for long-term success. Your adoption directly supports the rescue, recovery, and future of other animals in need.

Because transitions can take time, every adoption also includes support to help you and your new companion get off to a strong start: $100 of the Royal Canin food they’ve been eating, a free Wisdom DNA Panel ($96 value) with first food auto-ship, a $20 bag of the World’s Best Litter they’re familiar with, a complimentary first exam at any VCA Animal Hospital, and up to $250 in follow-up care for common, treatable conditions identified during that visit.
