FELINE ADOPTION APPLICATION
for adult cats, juveniles, and kittens
Residency requirements will be verified. Be truthful in your responses. Failure to provide truthful answers will result in nullification of your application and contract. PLEASE NOTE: The application questions are not optional; ALL must be answered. Failure to complete the application will result in a slower approval. If you RENT, please tell your landlord we will be calling to confirm that a pet is welcome where you rent.
Whether you plan to adopt a cat, kitten, or puppy, it is essential that you keep in mind that you are making a 10 to 20 year permanent commitment to that animal. Since most of the animals available for adoption have already had one or more homes, this organization feels it is critical that the animals be placed in a new, loving, and permanent home.
