Tara's Story

Tara is part of a litter of 3 - Sox and TIp. Tara is pure sweetness wrapped in a soft, delicate little kitten body. She’s gentle in everything she does — from the way she plays to the adorable little chirps she uses to get your attention. Tara is calm, affectionate, and has a comforting presence that makes you instantly fall in love with her. She enjoys soft blankets, warm laps, and cuddling next to you while she quietly purrs. Tara LOVES other cats and often seeks out a feline friend for company. She would do wonderfully in a calm home where she can feel safe, loved, and spoiled the way she deserves. When Tara feels comfortable, she becomes quite the playful girl — chasing feather toys, batting crinkle balls, and showing off her graceful zoomies. She’s sensitive, gentle, and incredibly loving… the type of kitten that becomes your heart cat. Tara comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and ready for adoption. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommunityCatsOfBocaRaton How to Apply To be considered for one of our kittens, please complete our adoption application here: www.givehoperescue.org/adopt Once your application is approved, we’ll contact you to discuss the next steps and keep you updated on your kitten’s progress until they’re ready to go home. Our standard adoption fee is $300 ($550 for pair) once the kitten reaches the typical adoption age (around 3 months old). Thank you for choosing adoption and supporting Give Hope Cat Rescue, Inc. Every adoption helps us continue rescuing, caring for, and finding loving homes for cats and kittens in need.

Give Hope Cat Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy

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.
