The next step in the process will be a home visit or a video call, during which we will be looking to assess if the environment is safe to receive a cat. Some things we are looking for:
- Windows in every room are secured to prevent the cats escaping.
- Is the home ready to receive the kitty: litter box, food & water bowl areas, cat food available, etc.
- Are there other pets that could potentially cause harm to the kitty? If other pets are present, they must all be fully vetted (Spayed/Neutered and Vaccinations up-to-date)
Our adoption fee is $300 for both adult cats and kittens. We are willing to lower the fee to deserving families or to those who adopt more than two cats.
Please note that if you take a cat from the street and bring him to any vet for fixing, vaccination, fiv/leu testing, two vaccines, six dewormers, defleece, and ears check you will pay more than $800 to $900 for those and you will have to do four to six trips to the vets. Except kittens who are too young to be fixed, all our cats have all of the above with less than 1/3 of the cost of all vets and you save at least four vet trips.
Also, please kindly understand that we had the inflation of our lifetime in the last two years and that everything to get a cat ready for a home (fixing, vaccines, dewormers, defleece, fiv/leu test, food, litter) increased in price. Only fixing a cat costs us $165. We have a deficit most of the time which you can confirm in our open books at
