We were started two years ago to try to decrease the cat overpopulation problem in our largely rural area of Plain City, Ohio. We do trap-neuter-return (TNR) of feral and stray cats. We also help low income people get their cats spayed/neutered. Out of these efforts, we always find cats/kittens that are friendly and so we do adopt out these animals. We have cage space at PetSmart, which does help us find a great many homes. Our area consists of a great number of farms and low income people who do not get their cats fixed. It is a huge problem that we are working to solve.
Adoption application. We check references and call vet. There is a $75 adoption fee, but all of our cats are sterilized, vaccinated, and tested for feline leukemia/FIV prior to adoption. We do not adopt to anyone who wants to declaw, but we do not advertise that fact until after the person fills out the application--we do not want them to lie to us if they know they cannot get the cat and declaw. We have them sign an agreement that the cat will come back to us if for any reason they do not want it.
