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!

Meet Petunia, an elegant 7-year-old tuxedo long-haired beauty, with an enchanting blend of reserve and charm. Petunia is a shy soul, finding comfort in the cozy confines of cardboard boxes, where she likes to nap or simply spend time in solitude. Patience is key with this lovely lady; she prefers a slow-paced life and requires a serene environment to fully blossom. A good book read aloud, some tantalizing treats, or a bit of catnip can go a long way in helping Petunia feel safe and loved. Her previous experiences with other felines have been positive, suggesting she would be open to sharing her space with another gentle cat. If you're seeking a quiet companion and can provide the tranquil home Petunia requires, she's ready to reward your patience with her heartwarming companionship. Can you give Petunia the peaceful forever home she seeks? Please contact zopharus@gmail.com to learn more and meet her!
