~You must be willing to make a 20 year commitment to the cat or kitten you want to adopt. ~Must be 21 years of age and able to provide a valid driver’s license or photo ID with your current address. ~All pets in your home must be sterilized and current on vaccinations, heartworm meds, etc., unless there is a medical reason validated by your veterinarian. We STRONGLY believe that all cats should have an annual vet visit even if they never go outside. ~You must be willing to provide veterinary references for current and/or past pets or at least three personal/professional references if you have never had a pet. ~You must be willing AND able to spend the time and money necessary to provide training, medical treatment, and appropriate care for your pet for its entire lifetime (i.e. annual vet visits, procedures recommended by your vet, emergency care as necessary.) ~Kittens under the age of 4 months must be adopted in pairs unless there is currently a cat in the home that is under five years old. ~For kittens under the age of 4 months, children must be at least 5 years old unless there is a current cat in the home. ~For certain breeds and dogs that do not currently live with a cat, or at our request, you must agree to a home visit and a dog test before the application can be approved and adoption finalized. ~Because our cats are in foster homes and all of our foster parents are volunteers, we cannot arrange a meet and greet with a cat or kitten until your application has been submitted and approved. ~If there are multiple applicants for the same cat or kitten, we will choose what we consider to be the most appropriate applicant for that particular animal. Each of our rescues have different personalities and needs, and we know that every home is not appropriate for every cat or kitten. ~Applications submitted on the weekends cannot be processed until Monday or Tuesday, holidays and other factors may slow this process. We require at least 2 business days to process the application and contact you. Once you have submitted your application, please contact your veterinarian and authorize the release of your veterinary records. ~Not all require this, but many do, and it will help speed the process. ~We do not hold cats. Once an applicant is approved, the adoption must be completed within 48 hours unless specific arrangements are made with the rescue. ~If an online application is approved, and the cat or kitten is scheduled for an adoptathon, the approved adopter must show up at the beginning of the adoptathon on the day the cat or kitten will be at PetSmart. After 15 minutes, the cat becomes available to any approved adopter waiting.
