ADOPTION APPLICATION & PROCESS Our adoption procedure includes an application. 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. We have a minimum adoption fee of $100, which helps 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). If 2 cats are being adopted from Save A Kitty at the same time, we may reduce our adoption fee. Even if we do a home check, that does not constitute an adoption.

Please remember that cats can live for over 20 years. Thousands of cats are killed at animal shelters each year because their guardians did not plan for the future. Cats can get sick and require expensive medical treatment during the course of their life. Cats need affection, attention, and understanding. You may have to adjust your lifestyle to accommodate a new pet. If you are ready to make this commitment, initial here _________________________________. By signing below, I agree that I will not hold Save A Kitty, Inc., or any of its agents or volunteers responsible for any damage or injury that may occur as a result of handling the cat(s). I agree to handle the cat(s) at my own risk. I further agree that all information provided on this application is true and correct. If your completed application falls within our adoption parameters, we will schedule a home inspection. However, neither a completed application nor a home inspection guarantees adoption of a Save A Kitty cat or kitten. Adoptions are not official until a Save A Kitty Adoption Agreement Contract is signed by both parties. Save A Kitty, Inc., reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone for any reason. This application becomes part of the Save A Kitty, Inc. Permanent Contract. This application and information contained herein is the property of Save A Kitty, Inc. _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________ Signature *
