Despurate House Cats
Our Mission
Our vision goes beyond rescue. We are on a mission to build a compassionate community, raise awareness about animal welfare, and advocate for critical initiatives like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to reduce the feral cat population. Our goal is to increase adoptions, provide a sanctuary for at-risk cats, and create opportunities for people to connect with animals while supporting meaningful change.
Adoption Policy
The application process for adopting from our cat rescue includes several important steps:
Application Form on Website: You must fill out an application form available on the rescue's website. This form will ask for your personal details, your home environment, and other relevant information about your lifestyle and preferences to help match you with a suitable cat.
Vet Reference: You are required to provide a reference from your veterinarian. This helps the rescue ensure you have a history of responsible pet ownership and good veterinary care for your previous or current pets.
Landlord Reference (if leasing): If you rent your home, you will need to provide a reference from your landlord. This confirms that you have permission to have a cat in your rental property and ensures that the living conditions are suitable for adopting a pet.
Home Visit: As part of the adoption process, a home visit will be conducted. A representative from the rescue will visit your home to ensure it’s a safe and appropriate environment for a cat. This visit will also include meeting your current pets to assess if they will get along with the new cat. The rescue wants to ensure that the new addition to your family will be compatible with your existing pets and that everyone will feel comfortable and safe.
Once all these steps are completed and reviewed, the rescue will make a decision about your application.
