Do you plan to have your cat de-clawed? *
Do you know if there are other options rather than removing their claws? *
Have you ever had to de-claw a cat? *
If you had to de-claw a cat, please explain when and why? (Please put N/A if not applicable) *

Including yourself, how many people live in your household? *
Does anyone in your household smoke? * Please note: we do not ask this question in order to pass judgment. Siamese cats can be prone to asthma, and if we have observed a cat or kitten wheezing, we would hesitate to place them in a home with a smoker for fear that this could trigger asthmatic attacks, which would be traumatic for you as well as your pet.
Is everyone in your household aware that you are planning to adopt a pet? *
Does anyone in your household have allergies to dogs/cats? *
If you answered yes, please specify here. Note: Please specify ANY allergies to any cat or cats. If you believe your or their allergy will not be triggered by a specific breed of cat, please explain the basis for your reasoning.

Personal Reference #1 - First and Last Name & Cell Phone Number & Email Address * None of them should be: * related to you by blood, marriage or share a household with you * your significant other * your current veterinarian (a former retired veterinarian is fine) * someone you supervise or who reports to you at work Your “in case of emergency” person can give you a character reference if they are not one of the above. Only one reference may be from a co-worker. At least one reference must be from someone who knows you other than socially (e.g. a current or former teacher, professor, peer or supervisor at work, volunteer at a non profit, neighbor, etc.). Please be sure to provide both a contact phone number and an e-mail address. We prefer to do the initial reference checks by Text but if we do check by phone, it will usually start with a text stating their name and a link to an online form. If they prefer to do it by phone, we can do that as well.
Personal Reference #2 - First and Last Name & Cell Phone Number & Email Address *
Will you allow us to perform home checks? *
Is there anything else that you would like to tell us?
Do you agree to sign an adoption contract prior to the date your cat is picked up (or prior to the transport being booked, if applicable), undertaking to keep your cat vaccinated, not to declaw your cat under any circumstances and to confirm the information provided in this form (amongst other things)? A copy of the adoption contract is available ahead of time on request. *
Do you understand that after an adoption is confirmed, if you wish to change your mind that adoption fees and other amounts paid may not be refundable? * * If you wish to cancel an adoption within two weeks after it has been confirmed and transport requested, the adoption fee and any amounts spent on caring for the cat can only be refunded at our discretion. Adoption fees are not refundable under any circumstances for cancellations made more than two weeks after the date the adoption was confirmed and the adoption fee paid. Any amounts paid for a health certificate (if you cancel at the last minute) will not be reimbursable because it is payable to the vet, not us and is valid only for a very short period of time. If you wish to cancel the adoption after a cat or kitten is on its way to you, nothing you have paid will be reimbursable and you will also be responsible for any costs we need to incur in getting the cat boarded and returned to foster care. The only exception to the above is if new, material information emerges about the cat’s health which is communicated to you, and you change your mind above the adoption promptly after being informed of it.
How did you hear about us? *
Are you willing to have a background check completed? *
I have read the foregoing and certify that the answers I have given are complete, true and not misleading in any way. I am authorizing you to contact landlords, associations and veterinarians. You are also aware that we cannot guarantee the health and temperament of the animal. * Your pet IS NOT MERCHANDISE. You are not buying a “perfect” made to order item. You are adopting an animal who needs a home. Your responsibility is to provide further veterinary care, if needed, as needed and make this sweet kitty whole and a loved part of your family for its natural life span. Just as with children, whether biological or adopted, there are no tests to guarantee what may or may not be needed for your new pet.
