You may hope to meet the perfect cat but “perfect” is different for different people:
- A cat who loves to play.
- A cat who loves to cuddle.
- A cat who loves to snooze peacefully in a sunbeam.
The Feline-ality™ Adoption Program is built around the Feline-ality™ Assessment that reliably predicts how an individual cat is likely to behave when he or she arrives at your home. In addition, the Meet Your Match™ Cat Adopter Survey identifies your preferences, expectations, and lifestyle so that you can look for cats with Feline-alities known to be a good fit for your household.
Adopters who meet their new feline companion through the Feline-ality™ Adoption Program bring them home already knowing something about the cat’s:
- Enjoyment of being petted and held
- Playfulness, “talkativeness,” and activity level
- Interest in new people and new things
Matching the Feline-ality of cats in our shelter with your “Person-ality” lays the foundation for the human/feline bond to develop, increasing the potential for a successful, permanent placement.
This one-page survey gathers information about your expectations of cat ownership and helps determine the Feline-ality that best suits your lifestyle. Based on the results of the survey, you’ll receive a color-coded Guest Pass to help guide you to cats that best meet your expectations and lifestyle. For example, if your pass is green, look for cats with a green cage card.
A color-coded guest pass in hand, you can get to know cats whose cage cards identify them as green, orange, or purple. You aren’t required to choose a cat with a certain Feline-ality™ - love at first sight does happen. The Feline-ality™ Assessment enables you to be prepared for your new love’s response to your home and to be ready to help the kitty adjust.

How to score your results:
The form is divided into three sections: A library, Middle of the Road, and A Carnival. These sections correspond to the purple, orange, and green Feline-ality™ . Based on the highest number of circled responses within each section you will either be a match with the purple, orange, or green Feline-ality™ . In the event that your responses are divided equally (not likely but it could happen) select the section you feel the most comfortable with.
