Pets are members of the family and need to be treated as such...
KITTEN RESCUE'S
Adoption Policies

Our goal is to make the right match for your family, so our rescue cats and kittens will never need our help again.

The adoption fee and what it includes:
Well, here's the lowdown. When you choose to adopt one of Kitten Rescue's animals, the minimum adoption donation is $120.00. Each of our cats and kittens have already been:
  • Spayed or neutered
  • Microchipped
  • Testing for FeLV (Feline Leukemia)
  • Testing for FIV (Feline AIDS) for cats six months and older
  • First FVRCP vaccination. Depending on the cat's age and how long we have had it, additional vaccinations are sometimes provided by us; if not, they are the responsibility of the adopter.
  • De-fleaing
  • De-worming (tape and roundworm)
These services would ordinarily run up a bill of over $250.00, so you're saving a whole lot of that green stuff that's so important to you people! Of course a adoption donation of over $120.00 is always welcome, since many times we must provide additional medical care such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, x-rays, blood panels, fecal tests, treatment for ear, eye, upper respiratory infections, and viruses. Remember though, all veterinary care once you've adopted a new pet into your family, are your responsibility for the life of your pet.

*Please note that in certain cases of cats that are pure-bred or rare breeds, the adoption donation may be higher.
One of our fosters got -hooked on cats- very early onEnsuring good homes for our rescues
To help ensure that we place our cats in loving, responsible, and committed homes, we have a screening process involved in adopting a pet from Kitten Rescue. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary. Occasionally, a home delivery or visit may be made a required part of the adoption procedure.
Return Policy
If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you've adopted from us, you can do so within 72 hours for a full refund of the adoption donation. After that, be it months or years later, if you need to give up your Kitten Rescue cat or kitten, and you are unable to find a suitable home, you must return him/her to Kitten Rescue. We won't be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place him/her in a new home. We don't ever want our kitties to end up on the streets or at the Shelter again!

Making a Committment
Kitten Rescue cats are so for life...we're always here to answer questions and help solve problems. By adopting a cat from Kitten Rescue, you're making a commitment to provide love, care, and medical treatment for the life of the cat, which can be up to 20 years. Adopting a cat is a serious commitment, but one that is rarely regretted!   Please take this responsibility seriously. If your are unable to make such a 20 year committment, why not become a foster parent instead?


Donations to Kitten Rescue are tax-deductible
and receipts are available upon request.
