Do you agree, as part of successfully adopting this kitten, that if it is not desexed already, you will work with us to have the kitten desexed within it's first 2 months with you? This is a seperate non-negotiable contract we make with you, involving a reduced price vaccination & desexing service paid for in your adoption fee.
(Note that in a situation involving major distance barriers, we can discuss options suitable for your needs.)
Please remember, we are volunteers and it may take 24-48 hours for us to get back to you.

Please do not be afraid that our questions are all to exclude you as an applicant. Many of them are to get a good idea of whether the kitten/s would be a good fit temperament wise etc for your home. We want to make sure this kitten has a forever home with you!
