Cat Adoption Process
We always have lots of rescue cats that are looking for their ‘forever homes’. We are the only voices the animals have so please don’t be put off by any questions we may need to ask you. Please also feel free to ask us any questions; we are always happy to help you before, during or after the adoption process.
| PLEASE READ OUR ADOPTION PROCESS BELOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ADOPTING FROM US, PLEASE CONTACT MATT USING THE DETAILS AT THE END OF THIS PAGE. |
1: You can view all our available cats on our website; please read their full wording before applying. When you contact us, please include your address, contact number, if you have children, other pets, if your property is rented do you have authorisation from your landlord to allow pets, how long would the cat be left for work or other commitments and are there any main roads nearby that might be a safety concern when the cat goes outdoors. Our cats are usually in foster homes within our branch area of Keighley & Skipton so please keep traveling times in mind if you do not live locally. We will arrange a call/viewing with the foster carers once we have all the information mentioned above.
2: If everything is suitable for the cat and you wish to go ahead with adoption after the viewing, we will email you an adoption form and details of how you can pay the adoption fee via bank transfer – please see below for details of what our adoption fee covers.
3: In some rare cases, cats may need to leave the branch before they have been neutered. In these circumstances a free neutering voucher will be issued to cover the cost; the voucher must be used within 6 months of the adoption date. This will be discussed with you on the adoption day if applicable.
