Cat Adoption Application - Animal Rescue Project

Adoption Form for Cats and Kittens

The first step in the process of adopting a pet from Animal Rescue Project is to complete this application. The application provides important information. Working with you, we will be able to determine if the adoption is in the pet's best interest, and the process ensures that you will find a pet well suited to your lifestyle.
Please provide detailed information for all questions.
Our adoption fee includes the cost for vaccinations and other medical care,the spaying or neutering of the animal, and an adoption service charge. If the pet you have chosen has not yet been spayed or neutered, you may be able to take it home with you. This will require you to sign an Early Release agreement with Animal Rescue Project, a binding legal document that commits you to sterilize the pet at an appropriate age. The State of Michigan requires that we collect a $50.00 deposit for unsterilized pets. We will hold this in escrow and return it to you when you submit proof of sterilization.
To qualify for adoption, you must

Be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver's license or state Identification Card stating your current address
Have the knowledge and consent of a landlord, if relevant
Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide medical treatment, proper nourishment and care, and training for a pet

Please note: We reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone. We will not adopt to persons who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on this application.
