How did you hear about Alley Cats and Angels*
Alley Cats and Angels works hard to make sure our cats and kittens are healthy. All cats and kittens in our program have been dewormed, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV and FIV and seen by our veterinarian as required. However, this is a rescue animal that has come to us from less than ideal conditions and we cannot guarantee the long term health of the cat. Please sign acknowledging you understand the above.*
