Give Hope Cat Rescue – Adoption Policies and Process At Give Hope Cat Rescue, our priority is placing each cat or kitten into a responsible, loving, and permanent home. To ensure the best possible match between our animals and adopters, we have developed a thorough adoption process. Please review the following policies before applying: Adoption Application Review • Our application review process generally takes 1–2 business days. We do not offer same-day adoptions, as each application is carefully reviewed by our team. • Approved applicants will be contacted to schedule a required home visit to evaluate the environment and ensure the home is a safe and suitable setting for the pet. Adoption Requirements 1.) Age Requirement: You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. 2.) Senior Adopter Policy: Applicants 60 years or older wishing to adopt a kitten under 6 months must have a co-applicant under 60 years of age. The co-applicant must complete a separate form and agree to take over ownership if the adopter can no longer care for the kitten. • This policy does not apply when adopting adult or senior cats. 3.) Identification: A valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID) is required. If your current address is not listed, you must also provide a recent utility bill or lease agreement for verification. 4.) Renters: If you rent your home, please provide your landlord’s name and contact information, or submit a copy of your lease agreement confirming pets are allowed. Final Steps • After your home is approved, we will schedule an appointment for you to meet and pick up your cat at one of our approved adoption locations—typically the foster caregiver’s home. • Upon adoption, you will receive a Welcome Packet that includes: - A copy of the adoption contract - Your cat’s complete medical records and vaccine history - Helpful tips on cat care and transitioning your new pet into your home - New adopter coupons or resources (when available) We are grateful to all applicants who choose to adopt and give a second chance to a rescued cat. Our goal is to ensure a successful, long-term match and a happy future for both the pet and adopter.
