checkbox(Required)

I understand that for KKHR to continue saving lives, the adoption fee is non-refundable

checkbox2(Required)

I understand that KKHR cannot guarantee the health of its cats & kittens. KKHR provides veterinary care throughout their time at KKHR but as with many shelter cats and kittens, there can be latent health issues that arise soon after pet is adopted. Especially with kittens with undeveloped immune systems there can be issues that appear when cat/kitten is in a new environment dealing with new people/other pets/unfamiliar surroundings. Any veterinary costs associated with these issues will be adopter’s responsibility and are part of ongoing pet ownership. You must be prepared for additional costs with a new pet.

checkbox3(Required)

I understand KKHR has the right to reclaim any cat(s) not spayed or neutered by approx. 5-6 months old. If you have adopted a kitten younger than 5 months old it has NOT yet been fixed yet and must be done so by the time they are 6 months and confirmation of that provided to KKHR.

checkbox4(Required)

I understand that if KKHR has the right to reclaim any animal(s) if KKHR becomes aware of any falsification of this document or the adoption application document following the adoption.

checkbox5(Required)

I understand KKHR has the right to reclaim any cat(s) if we, after adoption, find that the cat has been allowed to become an outdoor cat (this excludes screened in patios and cat-proof fencing).

checkbox9(Required)

I understand KKHR has the right to reclaim any cat(s) if we, after adoption, find the cat is living in unsafe conditions. This can include, but is not limited to, unsanitary living environment, hoarding (of possessions and/or animals).

I agree to provide quality food, fresh water, shelter, humane treatment, and veterinary care to my new pet(s) and I will comply with all state and local ordinances concerning pet licensing and vaccinations

I agree to provide all veterinary care including vaccinations for the life of the cat and understand that KKHR has the right to reclaim any cat(s) not seeing a vet regularly.

checkbox12(Required)

If I am unable to care for the cat(s) for any reason, I promise to return animal(s) to KKHR to find an appropriate home with KKHR approval. If I have recommendations on a new home (family or friends), that will be considered, and they would need to go thru the KKHR application process.
