Hermione's Home Application

Hermione's Home, Inc. Pre-Adoption Inquiry Form

E-Mail: hermioneshome@gmail.com
Hermione's Home, Inc. is a small group of people helping displaced cats find new loving homes. We want every applicant to understand the responsibilities involved in caring for a pet. It is a life time commitment and many cats live 16 to 20 + years. Cats bond with their human family and need to be treated as a member of the family. Please proceed with this application if you are willing to make that commitment.
- All applicants must be 23 years or older and be able to provide a picture ID once accepted.
- Please understand that the application process can take a few days, so cats will not be going home with you the same day. Unless your submitted application has already been approved.
- We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse any applicant for any reason.
- Applicants must be able to financially care for an animal.
Please answer each question completely, the more information you give to us the better we can match a pet with you and your family.
