Adoption Requirements

Cat Adoption

  • Location: We only adopt cats in or near Saigon, Hanoi, and Da Nang, where international veterinary clinics are available. Cats may also be adopted to the EU, UK, US, and Canada, depending on current regulations.  The adoption fee for international adoptions is $700 USD.  
  • Indoor-Only Homes in Vietnam: Our cats must be kept safely indoors due to rampant cat theft and frequent traffic accidents.
  • Responsible Pet Ownership: Adopters should be prepared for routine vet care, proper nutrition, and a secure environment.

Dog Adoption

  • Location: Like our cats, dogs are adopted to homes in or near Saigon, Hanoi, and Da Nang for access to international standard vet care.  Depending on current regulations, we also export dogs to the EU, UK, US, and Canada.  The international adoption fee is $700 USD
  • Secure Housing: Dogs must live indoors with access to a securely fenced outdoor area in Vietnam. They cannot be left outside unattended, as dog theft is a serious problem.  Internationally, they can live without fenced gardens. 
  • Always Leashed: For their safety and protection, dogs must always be on a leash in public spaces in Vietnam.

Meet the Animals Ready for Adoption

palmer

Palmer

This sweet little man was rescued from a golf course in 2014 and was never able to get a family of his own. He is so nice and he loves to be pet, but he can be shy in the group of cats. We think if he lived in a home he would really come out of his shell. He has to be on a special gastrointestinal diet and get blood tests every 6 months, but he is otherwise healthy. Please give this loving senior a chance.

Nemi

This bright little girl was rescued from an abuse case in Da Nang, but she is very much over her previous life. She is extremely silly, very lovable, and enjoys her toys. She had a litter of 6 pups that have also been up for adoption. We think she was born around 2021.

This very special boy is was hit by a motorbike in 2019 and has been with us ever since. He is paralysed but he doesn’t let that stop him. He can be very tricky with new people, but is ultimately a big love bug. He needs to go to a home with tile floors and a safe garden for him to walk around in. He HATES wheelchairs, so he just needs to have the run of the yard on his two good legs.
