Pet Adoption Application

Valley Cats & Friends Animal Rescue Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that is 100% volunteer run and operates solely on donations.

To help ensure that we place our pets in loving, responsible, committed homes, we have a screening process before you can adopt a pet from Valley Cats & Friends Animal Rescue Inc. that includes an application, home check, adoption fee, and adoption contract. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary.

Animals are for life. When you adopt an animal, it is a commitment you make to the animal, for the lifetime of that animal. By adopting a new pet from Valley Cats & Friends Animal Rescue Inc, you’re making a commitment to provide love, care, and medical treatment for the life of the animal, which can be up to 20 years. Adopting a pet is a serious commitment, but one that is incredibly rewarding.

If you are unable to make such a long-term commitment, we would be happy to have you become a foster parent instead, or consider volunteering in other ways. It’s a great way to make a difference in an animal’s life without taking on such a long-term commitment.

Incomplete applications will not be considered and will not receive a reply.
