ADOPTION PROCESS
Our adoption procedure includes an application (see below). We do a home check/visit and, if we adopt, we have an option to do a follow-up home visit. Our adoption contract is a legal document and includes no release of adopted cats to a third party. Our standard adoption fee is $200. However, for some rarer breeds, the adoption fee may be higher. In addition, if you adopt 2 kitties at the same time, we may lower our standard adoption fee. The adoptions fees help us with some of the medical costs to ready our kittens for adoption (including testing for FIV/FELV, spaying/neutering, vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment). Even if we do a home check, that does not constitute an adoption.
