Calla's Critter Rescue

Application to Adopt
*PLEASE NOTE! We have an age minimum of 21 years of age and an age maximum of 80 years old to be considered to adopt. Our age limit rule is purely because cats have a life expectancy of 20+ years of age.

*70 years of age and older are expected to put the name & PHONE NUMBER of a reliable co-signer at the bottom of the application where it is asked.
NAME (FIRST AND LAST NAME)*
It is strongly recommended to apply for two cats or kittens versus one, if you do not have any other cats or pets in the home. Behavioral issues do often develop if a cat does not have a playmate other than yourself or family. Cats are VERY social animals. Please keep this into consideration.

Please note: we cannot guarantee a specific animal will still be available at the time your application is processed. We will contact you if we are able to match you with this cat or one similar.
