To ensure each animal is rehomed with someone who meets their needs, we run on an appointment only basis. We want all the animals in our care to find their perfect home. For that to happen, we have to consider their needs as well as yours.

    Adoption Terms & Conditions

    Successful applicants must undergo a standard home check. Are you happy for a member of staff or volunteer to carry out a home check to assess the suitability of your home to adopt a cat.

    Your new cat has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and de-flead. I understand that a minimum donation of £75 is to be paid for a cat and this is a small contribution towards upkeep and vet treatment.

    You understand that the cat will be rehomed as a pet and is not to be kept outside. The cat is to be a companion and not used for breeding purposes. Animal Care retains ownership of the cat, and reserves the right to reclaim it if it is suspected that it is not being fed, housed or cared for to the satisfaction of Animal Care. Should the cat ever leave your care it must be returned to Animal Care BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT or a new home must be vetted by Animal Care.
    You understand that you retain the full liability for any vet fees incurred at any time from the time of adoption unless the cat is on Animal Care foster scheme.
    You understand that although we tell you everything we know about a cat we are rehoming, we do not always have a complete history, and there for we cannot guarantee health/behaviour 100%. Animal Care will provide on-going support to all adopters of our animals. It may take 6 months or more for a cat to settle in to its new home.
    I understand that Animal Care cannot refund any money after the adoption. THIS FORM WILL BE KEEP ON FILE FOR 3 MONTHS AND NO INFORMATION WILL BE SOLD OR PASSED ON. IT IS ONLY USED FOR THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS TO FIND YOU THE RIGHT ANIMAL FOR YOUR NEEDS.
