Adoption Guidelines
If you currently have any unaltered pets,
do not apply to adopt one from us. Only 20% of kittens born in the U.S. (puppies only fare a little better) live past their first
birthday. The rest are abandoned, run over, killed by other animals, or euthanized at local animal shelters. Those that survive
often become absorbed into the feral population. We are dedicated to improving the lives of all animals and believe that the key
is prevention (through sterilization) and education.
All of our cats are "Indoor Only" cats. We do not adopt indoor/outdoor cats or outdoor only cats. Many of our cats have
been rescued from a difficult life on the streets and it is our intention to provide them with the safest possible home.
We only deal with the primary caregiver of the animal. If you have a friend or relative whom you think would bond well with one of our
adoptable cats or kittens, they will need to contact us in person. We will not adopt a cat or kitten as a gift.
If for any reason, the adoption is not successful, the cat MUST be returned to the custody of Feral Friends.
We strongly discourage declawing but will allow a front paw declaw. Four paw declaws are not permitted under any circumstances.
You must be prepared to devote time and attention to the pet and meet its social and emotional needs, as well as physical ones.
Adoption Fees:
$ 95.00 for Adult Cats (6 months & up) or (2 for $160.00)
$125.00 for Adult Declawed Cats or (2 for $225.00)
$125.00 for Kittens (6 months and under) or (2 for $225.00)
This fee covers: For adults - test for Feline Leukemia and Aids, spay or neuter, vaccinations
that include FVRCP, Rabies, worming, flea/ear mite treatments plus a complete veterinary examination and any necessary medical treatment.
For kittens - test for Feline Leukemia and Aids (on two kittens from a litter or on the mother), at least the first FVRCP
(the adopter assumes responsibility for any additional vaccinations not yet received), worming, flea/ear mite treatments plus any other necessary
medical care and a thorough medical examination. While we never adopt a cat or kitten that we have reason to believe is ill or has been exposed
to disease, there are no adequate tests for certain viruses. We adopt out cats in good faith, but cannot guarantee their continued good
health.
