Adoption process and commitments

We will review your application and contact you to discuss the cat, your household and the next steps. Any adoption fee, what it includes, and the cat's known health and sterilisation status will be confirmed before you commit to the adoption.

Please do not make a payment until Feral Cat Care has confirmed the arrangements directly with you.

Care commitments

Please tick each box to confirm that you understand and accept these care commitments.

Care commitment 1

I will provide a safe, caring home, suitable food, fresh water, shelter and daily attention throughout the cat's life.

Care commitment 2

I will arrange veterinary care when the cat is ill or injured and maintain vaccinations and parasite prevention according to my veterinarian's advice.

Care commitment 3

If the kitten is not already sterilised, I will arrange sterilisation at 4–5 months of age. If my veterinarian advises a different date for medical reasons, I will inform Feral Cat Care and agree a plan with them. I will provide proof of sterilisation.

Care commitment 4

I will not breed from this cat. If I need help with sterilisation, I will contact Feral Cat Care before it is due.

Care commitment 5

If I move, I will make arrangements to take my cat with me and provide a suitable home.

Care commitment 6

If I can no longer keep the cat, I will contact Feral Cat Care first and arrange its return or an agreed rehoming plan. I will not abandon, sell, give away or surrender the cat elsewhere without first discussing it with Feral Cat Care.

Care commitment 7

I will send Feral Cat Care an update every three months and notify them promptly if the cat goes missing or a serious problem arises.

Care commitment 8

I will notify Feral Cat Care promptly about any concern within the first seven days after adoption. For urgent health problems, I will seek veterinary care immediately.

Care commitment 9

I will not hold Feral Cat Care responsible if something happens to my kitten from five days after adoption.

Care commitment 10

If I cannot keep the kitten after adoption, I will bring the kitten back to Feral Cat Care.

Care commitment 11

I understand that all kittens and cats are rescued animals and that Feral Cat Care may not know whether they have an underlying illness.

Care commitment 12

I will give my kitten the food recommended by Feral Cat Care. Kittens under seven weeks must not be given food in gravy or cow's milk, as their stomachs are still sensitive.

Care commitment 13

I understand that if my kitten becomes sick or dies within five days after adoption, Feral Cat Care can offer a refund or another kitten.

Care commitment 14

I acknowledge Feral Cat Care's statement that its kittens are healthy when adopted.
