Purr Partners Adoption Application

Purr Partners chooses the best home for our cats and kittens. This choice is based on our experience, our knowledge of our cats and kittens, and the information you have provided here and in our discussions. Please be advised that the submission and acceptance of this application will not constitute an approval, nor does it guarantee that you will be able to adopt the cat(s) you have indicated. We reserve the right to deny any application.

Please think carefully and be clear about what is your ideal cat. Because our cats and kittens are housed in foster homes not cages we know their personalities and will be able to help you select the best possible cat or kitten and one that fits your family and lifestyle.
Thank you for considering adopting from Purr Partners!

Do you want to adopt a cat as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)? *
Note: Per our adoption policies at https://www.purrpartners.org/adopt/policies/, we will not adopt kittens out to be ESA animals. We cannot guarantee the personality of a kitty long term, and we do not feel it is in the best interest of the adopter or the kitten. We know our cats well, and we can recommend older teens and adults as potential ESA animals if you are approved to adopt.

*Disclaimers*
We do not guarantee the health of any animals offered for adoption. Any time you adopt an animal, you should take it to a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible. Your animal is, to the best of our knowledge, healthy, but will need to be started immediately on a program of preventative veterinary care. Please be aware that the animals available for adoption are rescue animals and, as such, have often been exposed to a variety of diseases. Like human illnesses, these disorders can have an incubation period of up to several weeks to several months. If the animal you adopt shows signs of illness at any point, you must take it promptly to your veterinarian for treatment at your expense. (If you are adopting a special needs cat, by signing this you indicate your understanding that ongoing health issues are part of the adoption, and you have agreed to provide the care the cat or kitten needs.) I have read and understand this disclaimer, please initial: *

I have read the Adoption Policies and agree with the terms and conditions of this application. I acknowledge that I have answered all the questions truthfully. Failure to provide honest answers may result in the forfeiture of your adopted pet to Purr Partners Feline Rescue. *
NOTE: If all required questions are not answered, this application will not submit successfully and you will remain on this page until everything with a red asterisk is answered. If your application is accepted, you will be redirected to an Adoption Policies page and you will receive a copy of your completed application at the email address that you provided.
