Adoption application

Before sending the adoption application form:

Read the adoption contract and the terms of agreement.

Cats are looking for responsible and committed homes, where they can spend the rest of their lives safe inside. The cats are NOT given to homes which let them go out freely. The cats are rehomed neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and FIV- and FeLV-tested. The cats’ microchips are registered to Turvasiru service. We don’t rehome cats under the age of one year to live as the only cat. You must be at least 20 years old to adopt a cat from Dewi.

Rehoming fees:

  • One adult cat 200 €

  • Two adult cats 350 €

  • One kitten 250 €

  • Two kittens 400 €

  • One adult and one kitten 400 €

Hox!

1. Our adoption process includes filling out the application form, an interview call with a member of the Dewi adoption team, and a home visit to the desired cat’s foster home. We might ask for some details via email.

If you don’t think it’s possible for you to visit Turku from e.g. Helsinki/Pori/Tampere before the adoption decision, we will not proceed the adoption process.

2. At the moment we don’t accept applications of other cats than the ones introduced in our homepage or our social media platforms.

3. Please fill out the form only if you can offer a home for a cat within a month of application. Our adoption process can be quite quick and the interview and the home visit can be organised in just a few days.

Cats that have reached the rehoming age (16 weeks) are not reserved for more than three weeks, excluding the situations where the cat is going to a vet visit organised by the organisation. In the situation mentioned above we are going to organise the rehoming after the vet visit.

With kittens that have reached the rehoming age, we hope that they move within three weeks after reaching the rehoming age.

4. We will contact you around 2 weeks after your application. Remember to check the junk mail folder! After we have contacted you, you should message us via the application form - DO NOT fill out a new form.

Please inform us immediately if you are no longer willing to adopt a cat, so we know to offer it to another adopter. We move on within a week of no contact with you, as it is a long time to keep other potential adopters waiting.

Also, if you want to change the application (e.g. express your interest towards another cat) please message us via the general contact form (Yhteys - Yhteydenottolomake) or if you ave already been answered via email please answer the email in question.

5. Sometimes we can already see from the application that the desired cat is not at all suitable for your situation. In this case we might suggest another cat. Our team has rehomed hundreds of cats, so when you are told that unfortunately we don’t have a cat suitable for you, you can trust our opinion. We don’t want any harm to the cat and the new home with a bad match.

We always look for the best homes suitable for our cats. Even if you were a good cat owner, you might not have the best environment for a spesific cat.

6. We encourage you to be honest with us, and speak up if you are having doubts, if you already adopted from elsewhere or if the cat looked for you is not the one. This is very common especially with timid cats, and it is very important to acknowledge especially after the home visit! The faster we get the information, the faster we can offer the cat to another person.

7. If we come to a conclusion that we don’t have a suitable cat for you, and you still want to wait for a one, we will keep the application active for two months.

If your situation changes or you’re waiting for your big renovations to complete, please fill out a new form when you are ready for adoption.
