Adoption Policy
We vet adopters very closely.
1. Potential adopters complete a detailed adoption application form
2. We ask for 3 references on the form
3. We do either a video or in-person homecheck to ensure that the home is safe, comfortable and has window screens
4. We make sure all adopters have a cat carrier to hand in case of emergencies
5. We have adopters sign an adoption contract
6. We let adopters know that if things don't work out, we can take the cat back. We want to make sure the adoption is a good fit and everyone benefits.
