Adoption Information

 

Here at Countryside Animal Rescue we take our animals very seriously.
We want the adoption process to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for you and the animal. 

This application is a thorough attempt to let us know if the cat you have an interest in will be a good match for you and your family.

 

Countryside Animal Rescue will make a home visit prior to acceptance of your application. 
We feel strongly about not wanting our animals placed in bad situations,
nor do we want the family to take on more that they are capable of taking care of.
We are not looking at your housekeeping abilities;
we are just looking to make certain that you are able to provide a safe, secure and loving environment for the cat.

 

Countryside Animal Rescue reserves the right to place any particular cat
 into any home and that my approved application gives me no right to any cat.

 

Please understand that a rescue cat can come from unknown backgrounds,
I assume the risks of being bitten, scratched, injured while visiting with this cat for adoption.

Please initial:

 

I understand that the recurring cost of maintaining a cat can exceed
well over $200 per year of vet bills, vaccinations and routine care. 
I agree to perform all routine health maintenance annually for my adopted
 cat and any other unknown veterinarian care that could come up after adoption.

Please initial:

 

Thank you for considering adopting a cat from Countryside Animal Rescue.

 

Please sign and date that this information you listed on this
