Adoption commitment: Adopting a cat is a serious responsibility. The cat you adopt will likely be part of your family for the next 10 – 20 years and may make considerable demands on your time and resources. You will need to spend time socializing, grooming, feeding, scooping waste, exercising and playing with your cat on a daily basis. All cats will require regular medical care, and some require special food, medications, or regular grooming. Vet bills, pet sitting, and vacation boarding fees may add considerable and sometimes unexpected expense to your family’s budget.

Are you prepared to accept the personal and financial responsibility of owning a cat, and do you accept that the Whisker Foundation makes no guarantees as to the health or temperament of any animal? *

Yes
No

Thank you for completing this questionnaire! Please be aware that it may take up to a week for our staff to contact you, and we are unable to contact individuals if the requested animal is no longer available. We appreciate your patience!
