PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: You are making a major commitment when you adopt any pet. Please remember that CATS CAN LIVE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. Thousands of cats are killed at animal shelters each year because their owners did not plan for the future. Cats can get sick and require expensive medical treatment during the course of their lives. Cats need affection, attention and understanding. You may have to adjust your lifestyle to accommodate a new pet. CHECK HERE IF YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THIS COMMITMENT:
By submitting this form I agree that I will not hold CATS INC. or any of its agents or volunteers responsible for any damage or injury that may occur as a result of handling the cat(s). I agree to handle the cat(s) at my own risk. I further agree that all information provided on this adoption application is true and correct.
