ADOPTION INFORMATION CATS
- The total fee for adopting a cat is $55.00. The fee includes:
- 4-way vaccination. It is important that you request any booster vaccinations that your pet may need from your veterinarian. Feline leukemia vaccine has not been given. Please consult your veterinarian on the advisability of testing for this disease.
- Deworming. This does not guarantee that your cat will remain worm-free. Please take a stool sample to your veterinarian on the initial visit.
- Rabies vaccination, administered at the time of the spay/neuter.
- Spay/Neuter - Your pet will be scheduled for the first available RASCAL spay/neuter clinic.
- At the time of adoption our cats are deemed healthy and not aggressive or otherwise unacceptable for adoption. However, it is always possible that an animal can harbor an illness in an incubation stage and therefore may become ill after adoption. Thus, we cannot guarantee health, but we will replace or refund your money on any cat that becomes ill within 14 days of the initial adoption.
- The future health of the pet is the responsibility of the adopter. The animal should have regular veterinary care, including parasite stool examination and treatment when necessary, yearly vaccinations (rhinotracheitis, calcivirus, and panleukopenia). Rabies vaccinations should be given every 1-3 years. Cats should be tested periodically for feline leukemia.
- Adopters must be at least 18 years of age. Adoptions will be permitted only to a responsible individual. We discourage the adoption of kittens under the age of four months to homes with small children.
***
Our adoption policies were established to ensure the placement of our animals into permanent, responsible homes, and they comply with the guidelines and regulations set by Licking County Animal Control and the Licking County Humane Society. If you have any questions about these policies, feel free to consult one of our staff members.
