Adoption Procedures and Requirements
The CatWorks was established in order to rescue, rehabilitate, and
re-home stray, orphaned, abused, and abandoned animals. To that end, we have
very strict adoption policies that must be followed, and no exceptions will
be made under any circumstance.
- If you are interested in adopting any of our young kittens, please
be advised that you may have to wait up to six weeks before you can
bring them home. Our veterinarian requires that all kittens must have 2
distemper vaccines 3 weeks apart and weigh at least two pounds before
they can be spayed or neutered.
- If you choose a cat or kitten that you are interested in at one of
our adoption days, we must first approve your application for adoption.
No cat or kitten may leave an adoption day without approval from a board
member of The CatWorks.
- Please be advised that all animals currently residing in the
residence where the cat or kitten is to be placed must be spayed or
neutered, up-to-date on their vaccines, and tested negative for
FIV/FELV. We will be verifying this information with your veterinarian.
- We will not allow any adoption of a cat, kitten or dog for a "gift."
Becoming a guardian to a cat, kitten or dog is a very serious obligation and
should not be taken lightly. We believe that all family members should
be involved when selecting a cat, kitten or dog to become part of your
family.
- There is an adoption fee which includes the following for cats and
kittens:
- FELV/FIV Test
- FVRCP Vaccine (two)
- Flea Treatment
- Ear Mite Treatment
- De-Worming Treatment
If you have any questions regarding these policies, please feel free to
discuss them with any of our volunteers. You may also reach us at
610.203.0757 or you can e-mail your questions to
info@thecatworksinc.org.
