Adopt a Rescue Kitten in Cape Town

Give a Rescue Kitten a Loving Home

At Kitten Clinic, we specialise in rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming neonatal kittens and those with special needs. Every kitten in our care is hand-raised with love, given personalised medical attention, and socialised in a home environment so they’re ready to thrive in yours.

When you adopt from us, you’re not just getting a kitten – you’re giving a second chance to a little life that needed it most.

Kitten Adoption FAQs

How do I adopt a kitten?

To adopt a kitten, simply complete our online adoption application. Once reviewed, we’ll be in touch to discuss the best match for your home and guide you through the next steps.

We are based in Cape Town, South Africa. Our kittens are raised in foster homes, so meet-and-greets are arranged by appointment.

Our adoption fee is R1200.

  • First two vaccinations 
  • Sterilisation 
  • Flea & tick treatment to date of adoption
  • FIV & FeLV test
  • Microchip 

We prioritise homes in Cape Town and surrounding areas, but out-of-area adoptions may be considered depending on the situation and transport arrangements.

Yes, we always do virtual home checks and if need be, in-person, to ensure a safe and suitable environment for the kitten.

Where possible, we encourage adopting kittens in pairs or into a home with another young, playful pet. This helps with social development and prevents loneliness.

You’ll need the basics ready:

  • Food and water bowls (our kittens are fed Hills kitten food)
  • A litter box and litter 
  • A sleeping spot (bed and blanket)
  • A safe indoor space
  • Toys and scratching posts
    We’ll guide you on everything you need before adoption.

Once your application and home check are approved (usually within 1–2 days), the adoption fee must be paid and proof of payment sent. Your kitten(s) will then be ready for collection from their foster home.

We’re always here to help. Whether you need advice on behaviour, introductions, or health, we are happy to provide ongoing support to adopters.
