ADOPTION FORM

– read all the information first –

Please remember we want the absolute best for the cats in our care and we will advise accordingly, none of which is meant to cause offence. It is purely because our priority is the cat’s happiness and welfare. If we think your situation is not suitable, we reserve the right to reject your application.
Cats will be flea and worm treated, microchipped and neutered/ spayed IF APPROPRIATE before they are re-homed.
If a kitten is too young to be neutered/ microchipped, at the time of adoption, you agree to having this done at the recommended date.
An Adoption Fee of £50 per cat or kitten must be paid in full at the time of adoption using the methods of cash or via bank transfer. These fees go part way to cover the costs of the animal in Shetland Cat Rescue‘s care.
When you fill out our form below you certify the information you have given us is true and realise that any misrepresentation will result in you losing the privilege of adopting a cat.
If your pre-adoption application is successful, you must agree to a home check by one of our volunteers. These will take the form of an actual visit to your home. We expect all members of the household to be present when our volunteer performs the home check.
You need to have considered all aspects of pet ownership, including the costs of insurance, veterinary fees, food and care of the cat if you go away. Also, you must be prepared to accept the personal and financial responsibility of cat adoption.
We are not responsible for any health issues that arise after the adoption has been completed.
