TinyPurring Rescue Adoption Application

Dear Potential Adopter:

Thank you for your interest in adopting from us! We are an all volunteer, no-kill, cat rescue servicing the South Etobicoke of City of Toronto. We focus our efforts on community kitties that would not make it in a traditional rescue or shelter. Our mission is to place all of our cats in loving, permanent homes. You are not purchasing a pet from us; you are adopting a living, breathing, creature that deserves safety, love and care. Your answers to this questionnaire are assurance to us that the cats we care for are going to good, permanent homes. All of the information on this application is confidential. We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out cats. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual cat. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet. Cats can live for 15-20 years, so please make sure your lifestyle allows the time, patience, and ability to cover expenses your new pet will need over the years. Will you be travelling frequently, moving soon, or having children? Responsible pet ownership includes as-needed and routine veterinary care, quality food, preventatives, and other supplies. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. All of the cats and kittens available for adoption are fully vetted, which includes a complete veterinarian checkup, spay/neuter, microchip, deworming, Revolution flea treatment, FVRCP and rabies vaccines. At times, these cats may require dental work, or other health related attention, which we also take care of, prior or during adoption. The adoption fee is $350 per cat, $700 for a bonded pair. The fee includes spay/neuter/vacciantions/microchip/deworming & a super advanced adoptdion, and transion kit.
