Adoption Contract - Under 2lbs Kitten

Thank you so much for adopting and giving a rescue a furever home!


Your are adopting at least one kitten that is UNDER 2lbs.

Here are some things we HIGHLY recommend you do because under 2lbs kittens are VERY fragile

  • Weigh Daily (kittens weights can drop drastically weigh in grams if possible), Kittens should gain 10 grams a day

  • Keep an eye on poop! Watery poop could make a kitten dehydrated.

  • Kittens this young should be on probotics to help their digestion.
    You can order some on Amazon (powder to sprinkle on food is best)

  • Research google/youtube on how to check a cat if is dehydrated or not. They may need to go to the vet to get fluids.

  • Sudden food changes can shock a kitten's system, if you need to change it do it slow over a course of a week.
    Start at mixing 25% then 50% 75% and be fully switched over on day 7.

  • Wet food helps with hydration and can mix with a little bit of water. Only use Kitten food until a year old.

  • Keep an eye on yucky eyes & Sneezing. They will need URI medication asap!
    If you contact us, you can purchase some through us. (this is available until they hit 3lbs, please take them to a vet)

Please read each statement below:

1. I have the consent of the other members of my household to bring this cat into my home. I am taking full fiscal and legal responsibility for the cat from this day forward. I have every intention to keep this cat for the remainder of its natural life. Should my living situation, financial or personal circumstances change, I will make every effort to maintain responsible guardianship of the cat.

2. The cat will live in a safe and sanitary private residence as a companion animal and will be provided with fresh food and water daily, as well as its own dean litter box.

3. I agree never to strike or harm the cat in any way, nor allow anyone else to do so. I will NOT have the cat declawed by any method. I understand that having a tendonectomy, onychectomy, or other declawing procedure performed on this cat could result in a judgment against me of up to $5,000.

4. I will provide future vaccinations and also veterinary care upon disease or injury. I will take him or her to the vet for checkups as recommended by my veterinarian. I will do whatever it takes to keep my cat living a good quality of life. I will not euthanize him or her unless s/he is suffering and there is no other recourse and this is per my vet's recommendation.

5. Your cat has been treated with at least one of several broad-spectrum deworming agents, which are indicated on your cat’s health record. However, these agents do not treat all possible parasites, so should you notice any abnormalities in your cat’s feces, you should bring a sample to your veterinarian for review at your own expense.

6. I will never use, sell, give or transfer the cat for commercial or illegal purposes. I agree to notify The Furry Paws Foster Inn of any potential transfer of guardianship within family and understand that the new adopters will be required to sign an adoption agreement with The Furry Paws Foster Inn. If you plan on transferring guardianship outside of family members, we will need them to fill out an adoption application with us first, this is for the safety of our kitties. Once approved the new adopters will be required to sign an adoption agreement with The Furry Paws Foster Inn. I understand that I can always contact The Furry Paws Foster Inn for help with rehoming this cat and we ALWAYS take back our kitties for any reason.

7. Should behavior problems arise, I will contact The Furry Paws Foster Inn for guidance and take all reasonable measures to correct them as advised by a feline behaviorist and/or veterinarian.

8. I agree to relinquish my cat to The Furry Paws Foster Inn if The Furry Paws Foster Inn in good faith believes that the cat is not being cared for according to the conditions delineated in this contract per State and local law.

9. I agree never to bring my adopted cat to another shelter or animal control facility for any reason. Should I need to find a more suitable accommodation for the cat in the future, I will contact The Furry Paws Foster Inn for placement assistance.

10. I acknowledge that by paying the adoption fee I am not purchasing a product, but making a donation toward a worthy cause. The adoption fee is NON-REFUNDABLE after 7 days of the pet being in the new home stated above. I understand that if for some reason the cat is not suitable for my household l am required to contact The Furry Paws Foster Inn to make arrangements for his/her return, if warranted.

11. I agree, if the kitten I adopted has not been altered, I will bring the kitten back to The Furry Paws Foster Inn for them to get spayed or neutered at a later time. It is required for them to stay the night before the appointment. At that time they will receive the rabies vaccine at no cost to the adopter. There is no additional fee for the spay/neuter. The rescue will reach out via email or text message to schedule the appointment with you when the animal is between 3-5 months old.
If I choose to have the kitten spayed/neutered elsewhere, this will be at my own expense and will not hold The Furry Paws Foster Inn liable for the vet bill. The kitten MUST be fixed by 6 months of age. I must provide documentation to The Furry Paws Foster Inn within 6 months of adoption of having the kitten spayed/neutered and received the Rabies vaccine. If I decline or fail to provide such documentation, The Furry Paws Foster Inn have the right to reclaim the animal at any moment. We seriously required having our animals fixed to help fix the major issue of re-population. There will be a fine of $800 if we find out you did not follow through getting the animal fixed and they become pregnant.

12. I have read and understood the information provided about my cat's health care. I agree to take my cat to the veterinarian for a physical exam within one month of adoption or after their spay/neuter.

13. I will notify my local shelter, microchip company, and The Furry Paws Foster Inn within 24 hours should the said animal become lost or missing.

14. I permit an authorized member or official of The Furry Paws Foster Inn to visit my premises from time to time to be assured that the animal is happily settled.

15. I understand the paperwork about the SHUTDOWN/INTEGRATION PROTOCOL given in my adoption packet and that it is required, so that my newly adopted cat/kitten will be set-up for a successful transition into his/her new, permanent home. If I choose to disregard this SHUTDOWN/INTEGRATION PROTOCOL (which has been compiled by experts with many decades of experience), I am choosing to set-up my newly adopted cat/kitten for possible failure.

16. I allow The Furry Paws Foster Inn to repossess the animal if, in their opinion, the terms of this agreement are not being reasonably adhered to.

By signing and dating below I acknowledged, understand, and agree with all the statements above.
