We screen thoroughly for the safety of the cats and the well-being of the relationship you’ll be entering into with them. The questions are not meant to be invasive or judgmental. Sometimes these questions bring up things folks hadn’t thought about. We like to try to cover all the bases. In most cases, these cats have already been through trauma and we want to ensure that never happens again. We assume that if you’re reading this, you feel the same way.
There may be follow-up questions based on your answers.
You can copy and paste these into an email, Word document or Facebook message and submit your answers in those ways.
How many people are in your household? Names and ages?
Address (just city is fine unless we move forward with the adoption)?
Phone Number? Ok to text?
Email?
Occupation?
Are you willing to meet in person or video chat via Facebook or Zoom before the cat is adopted?
Do you rent or own? (renters will need to send us a copy of their rental agreement where it says cats are ok, and provide the name and phone number of their landlord)
What is the name on the lease/deed?
How many pets do you have? What Kind? Ages?
How long have you had your current pets?
How many cats have you had in your adult life?
What happened to your past cats?
Where will kitty spend their time? Inside? Outside?
If you have kids, are they good with animals?
Have all household members been around cats enough to know if they’re allergic?
Are any of your current OR past cats declawed? If yes, explain.
Are you prepared to commit to the kitty for its natural life, including routine vet care (usually 15-20 years)?
Can you assure us that if something unavoidable happens and you cannot keep kitty that you will return her/him back to us?
