To elaborate:Can I go into CAS, create a household full of just pets, and somehow make it accessible in the "population bin" (dunno what to call it, but it's how a couple of my CAS sims ended up as townies), and would they then be able to be adopted (through the computer interaction)?In other words, I want a sim to adopt a pet in-game (as opposed to Merge Household shenanigans), but I want to customize some pets for the purpose.

You cannot create a household full of pets with no sims.You can however create pets for sims and then have them give them up for adoption.

I have a question regarding pet adoptions. I’m playing a legacy currently and want to refrain from cheats or anything like that, but I want to get a specific cat for them. Do I have to go into edit household in the worldview thing or I have to adopt from the only avaible cats/strays?

No cheats needed.Would it add funds to the house? Because I want to avoid thatNo. I've used this way before and it doesn't add funds at all. I think that only happens if you use Manage Households.

That may work for you.I saw a thread that said when giving a pet up for adoption, the game just deletes them, rather than adding them to the pool of adoptable pets, so this might not work. The game doesn't delete them right away - I had a sister adopt one of her brother's kittens after he put it up for adoption.

But, it will be deleted very soon if you don't switch to the household you want the pet to be adopted on immediately. As in right after the pet was put for adoption; leave that household, and go straight to the desired household and adopt it. No stops in-between!

I have a similar question... I want to be able to experience adopting a dog in the sims 4 without making my own in CAS. I want it to be a male golden retriever, but there are very limited amounts of dogs to choose from. Do the dogs in the "adoption pool" change over time, if so how often?

What if you adopted a cat, and then you went and changed how they looked?

When I play (I probably have different options than you lol sorry if this is wrong) it changes either everyday or every time.

You can do it via computer. Think it's household... and then adopt a cat or a dog (same way as adopting a child).

I noticed when you leave your lot and come back, the dogs/cats up for adoption change. So I do that when I want a specific breed, take my sim to another lot and come back (though you can change it In cas too, you can adopt a chihuahua and turn it into a labradoodle if you want to).
