Thank you for visiting Catz Jazz Feline Rescue, Refuge & Home Placement.
We are an all-volunteer, Texas-based companion cat rescue organization located just outside of Austin, Tx.
Our founder, Cathy Taylor, established the CatzJazz no-kill non-profit organization with a mission to provide safety, shelter, veterinary care, medical rehabilitation and socialization for abandoned or abused cats until good permanent homes can be found for them.
We do not maintain a paid staff; our foster, resource and support network are funded exclusively through donations.
Adoption days are at Lakeline PETsMART every Sat/Sun from 12-5pm, and we also set up appointments to bring cats available for adoption to prospective adopters' homes for a visit, up to 50 miles from our home base for adoptions.
Call or e-mail us for more information. Phone: 512-636-8473
ADOPTING FROM CATZJAZZ
You must be at least 18 to apply.
Please do not leave any fields left blank, incomplete applications won't go through.
You may also apply in person during adoption days at Lakeline PETsMART every Sat/Sun from 12-5pm.
(Please note that not all of our cats go to our adoption site because we rotate out cats based on their need for adoption, so please contact us to arrange the day you want to visit a particular cat.)
Please keep in mind if you are applying for a kitten that kittens usually go quickly. Though we update the site as often as we can, sometimes kittens are adopted out the same day they are put online, so if you are looking to adopt a younger cat, you may want to consider putting an application in on file with us and checking back often. Once you have an approved application on file, you can just call us at 512-636-8473 as soon as you see a cat you want to adopt!
All of our felines are treated for worms/fleas, tested for FeLV/FIV, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed/neutered (if at least 5-6 months of age), are litterbox trained and have received any medical care they needed while in foster or rehabilitation. In the case of rescued dogs in our care from time to time, the dog will be fully-vetted and up-to-date. The average adoption fee of $125 helps offset some of these expenses which are otherwise funded through our support network of donations and volunteers. Adoption fees range, and may go as low as $75 for long-stay or senior rescues, are typically $125 for adults and kittens and can go higher for "purebreeds". Many of our rescues arrive to us in critical need of costly medical procedures. This adoption fee is critical so that we can sustain our rescue operation and provide this same quality of care to the next rescue in our care.
*** We know this is a long application, however we have this process to ensure every cat we place gets the best home for its needs and to ensure a long lifetime of safety, love, and companionship for them.

CatzJazz reserves the right to refuse any adoption it considers unsatisfactory.
