Adoption Application
(CAT)

PLEASE READ ENTIRE COVER SHEET BEFORE COMPLETING APPLICATION!

Name of Animal you are applying for:

Welcome to Fuzzy Friends Rescue.

We are a small organization and our time is limited.
Please answer each question completely and honestly.

We get too many applications that do not have a vets name, location, and phone number included. THIS IS REQUIRED! If you rent, your landlords name and phone number are required also. We DO NOT look up phone numbers due to our limited time to spend on researching this information.

By submitting the application, you are giving Fuzzy Friends Rescue permission to investigate and confirm the information that you provide. All forms become the property of Fuzzy Friends Rescue upon submission.

If you do not have a current vet, you must include the vets name and phone number that you are going to use. This is so we can do a post adoption follow up on the pet you are adopting.

If any information is left blank, your application will not be reviewed.

If you are approved to adopt the pet you are applying for, this will become a part of your permanent record.

Please understand that not all families and dogs/cats are compatible. Every effort is made to match traits exhibited by a dog/cat with characteristics, which you desire in a pet. Our goal is to ensure the welfare of the animal only by placements in the best possible home. Fuzzy Friends Rescue has the right to deny adoption of ANY animal to ANYONE for ANY reason.

In order to be considered as an adopter today, you must:

  • Be 21 years or older
  • Have a valid driver’s license or other photo ID and identification with your present address
  • Be able to verify that you can have a pet where you live (if renting or if living with parents or someone else) and
  • Be willing and able to spend the time and money necessary to provide the proper care for a pet, including food, shelter, veterinary care, grooming and training, for the lifetime of the animal you adopt.
Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption of a Fuzzy Friends Rescue cat or kitten. Thank you
