Application

Thank you for applying to adopt a new family member with us!

Please read the application carefully and fill out completely. Note that once approved and the adoption is completed, this is also your ADOPTION CONTRACT.

Once we process your application, we will CALL you for a brief phone interview and then, hopefully, you can be approved to adopt! Please allow a day or two for us to contact you and note that we usually cannot check veterinary references on the weekend.

We almost always have kittens and cats that are ready for adoption at the Lakewood PetSmart. They can be seen there during business hours. Hours to meet kitties here in the rescue are by appointment only and upon application approval.

All of our kittens and cats are spayed/neutered, developmentally vaccinated, treated for parasites, combo tested (FIV & FeLV), and microchipped prior to adoption readiness. Most of all, incredibly LOVED by us.

Please feel free to call us with any inquiries at 716-450-7945.

I am aware that kittens may require additional vaccines and this is my responsibility. I will have these done ON SCHEDULE and provide LKR with documentation for their records as requested.
Initial   If at any time I am unable to meet the needs of, or no longer desire to be the human for this companion animal, I will contact LKR so he/she may return into their care.
Initial   I agree to never subject this animal to the cruel act of declawing.
Initial   I agree to keep this animal INDOORS ONLY.
Initial   I attest that all other felines that share my home have been spayed/neutered.
