Many of our rescues come from neglectful or abusive situations. They may experience difficulty making the adjustment to your home. Some cats may become fearful and hide. Others may urinate or defecate in places other than a litterbox. Are you willing to give your new pet time to adjust? *

For a while

Pet ownership is a serious responsibility. The whole family needs to be involved in this decision. Our policies insure that each person who adopts from us is not only aware of that responsibility, but that each person be willing and able to accept this responsibility morally, physically, and financially. This questionnaire was designed to aid both you and us in determining if you and your family are indeed adequately prepared to assume full responsibility for this animal.

I understand that there may be an adjustment period for this pet, and that adjustment period may take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. *

Yes, I understand and will be willing to be patient.

No, I will not be willing to work with behavior problems during the adjustment period.

I agree to properly care for this animal for life, including annual vaccines and emergency situations. *

Yes, I agree.

I understand and agree that if I can no longer properly take care of this animal that it will be returned to The Treat Retreat, and not given away, sold, or re-homed under any circumstance. *

This animal, by law, MUST be relinquished to The Treat Retreat if you or any of your family members can no longer properly care for this animal. Failure to do so will force us to take legal action to retain this animal. By clicking "Yes, I understand and agree" you accept to pay all court fees, legal fees, and time lost compensation, to retain this animal if ever sold, given away, re-homed, or surrendered to an animal shelter.

Yes, I understand and agree.

Declawing cats is the removal of the last digit of each toe and can result in lifelong pain and serious behavior problems. The Treat Retreat strictly prohibits the declawing of any adopted cat. Declawing a cat adopted from The Treat Retreat will result in the cat being removed from your home. *

I agree and understand.

No, I want my cat declawed.
