Declawing (onychectomy) is being increasingly recognized as a cruel and inhumane surgery that can lead to pain, physical ailments and negative behaviours. More and more veterinarians across North America are refusing to perform onychectomies, and the procedure has been declared illegal in many countries. It is also banned by several provincial veterinarian associations across Canada.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All cats require time, effort and patience. All of the information about our animals is based on observation eithin the shelter environment, and/or the information is provided by a third party and therefore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the breed, age or behaviour. The health of the cat listed is accurate to the best of our knowledge.

Adoptions will happen based on the first approved home that is willing to take the cat, unless specific and special circumstances necessitates us to hold the cat.

It is recommended that all individuals who live in the home come to meet the cat. We do not facilitate meet and greets between the cat and other pets that reside in the household.

We receive multiple applications for most cats and kittens. If you do not get a response, the cat is likely no longer available. Due to staffing levels and the volume of applications received, it is not always possible for us to respond to each applicant.

There will be no reimbursement of any adoption fee for any animal that is returned to the Saskatoon SPCA by reason of landlord refusal.

FALSIFIED INFORMATION WILL LEAD TO AUTOMATIC REJECTION OF THE APPLICATION. THE SASKATOON SPCA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT. *

I understand that it is my responsibility to see and evaluate the cat for myself before agreeing to adoption. The adoption of a lifelong animal friend should not be impulsive, but rather a carefully thought out decision, which will ensure a loving, lasting relationship. I understand that this form is a pre-adoption application and my submission of this form in NOT a guarantee of adoption approval.

Thank You for Adopting!
