OK - as you all know, I have 4 kittens that I will be adopting out, with the
help of a local rescue agency. I was wondering if any of you have any sort
of Adoption Contract? One that I could maybe use and/or modify to fit my
specifics? I don't want these kittens to go to just anyone, and I want to
make sure that they are INDOOR, not declawed if at all possible, etc., etc.
Also have any ideas of appropriate adoption fees?
Also, the Fearsome Foursome have been moved from the (enclosed) front porch
to our bedroom. The door is open but blocked off with a large piece of
cardboard. So far Tennessee and Weeble have braved hurdling the cardboard
(it's just high enough to keep kittens in, but the other cats can
investigate when they want to) to sniff at a kitten, only to be frightened
by another kitten pouncing on them from behind, and then fleeing the room ;)
Big scaredy cats. All four were currently napping on the bed when I left
the room a few minutes ago - a 4-kitten pile-up! They have not had any
formula for a few days now, and have taken to the canned kitten food very
well.

You might wish to send an email to a local rescue agency or to
www.houseofmews.com in Memphis to inquire about a scanned copy of their
adoption form. They are very, very particular about who they allow to adopt
their cats. This all-volunteer agency never puts cats in just anyone's
hands. In fact, if the resident cats are not adopted they live out their
lives in the rather large old storefront with toys and scritches and people
who love them. They have caring vets volunteering services and medical
supplies.
I know they have an adoption form. You might send email to the site
attention Elain Harvey, or write or call:

I have filled out many adoption forms lately. From the Humane Society's to many
of the different rescue groups. They are all at least 4 pages long. Ya know,
now that I am typing I just remembered that the web site that I scan every day
(for new masters) has the ability to fill out a form online. Let me go see if I
can get the link for you. Be right back. :)

How's the search for new owners going, TJ? Hope that you can be adopted
by some soon.

Did you find a contract? We have one, but just hard copies.
IMO, one of the most important clauses is the one that prohibits the adoptor
from giving the animal away if things don't work out. They have to agree to
bring it back to us.

Here are a few questionnaires that have been typical info everyone has on their
adoption contracts that I have been filling out. I know that after the form is
filled out then you still have to be interviewed and they ask you to elaborate
more. Should give you some info. I wish I had a blank one I could fax you or
scan for you.

I have more pics - they are more relaxed and napping on the bed - I just
have to get them from the CF card into my 'puter - and I'm being lazy -
kittens keeping me awake at night y'know (how DH can sleep through it, I
dunno).
