    Adoption Application

    Find your new best friend!
  • We realize there are a lot of questions to answer; please understand they are all in the best interest of you and the animal for which you are applying.

    Please take the time to carefully read and complete all questions as best as possible as they are designed to assist with placing our animals in an environment that meets their personality and needs.

    Our wish is for the pet and the adoptive family alike to be content with the decision, thus resulting in a permanent placement. Please note that we cannot consider you for an adoption until we receive a completed application.

    We welcome your questions, but inquiring about an animal is not considered an application and a submitted application does not commit you to adopt, but is the first step toward completing the process. Only approved applications will be considered in the decision-making process so if you are even slightly interested in one of our animals, you should submit an application as they find homes quickly. You should receive notification that we have received your application. If you are approved to adopt, you will be notified and typically invited to a meet-&-greet with the animal.

  •  -
  • If you rent, you must show us a written letter from your landlord or a copy of the section of your lease stating that you are allowed to have cats and showing any limitations. 

  • We will be speaking to all adult residents to confirm everyone is aware of this application process and wants to have a cat added to the family. Please do not submit this application if you are "trying to talk someone into" adopting this cat or think "once they meet the cat, they will want one" or "I'm getting this cat as a surprise birthday present for them." In those scenarios, you are welcome to email us to discuss the cat, but we would like all adults in the home to be involved in the final discussion.



  • RULES AND DISCLOSURES
    As a potential adopter, please thoroughly read the following Rules and Disclosures. Please note that entering your name to this application signifies your acknowledgement and agreement to following Rules and Disclosures.


    • The completion of this application does not guarantee the adoption. You understand that THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE will contact you if your application is approved. THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE may use our adoption contract to obtain your name and email address when you adopt one of our animals. We use your email address only for update mailings. 


    • Generally, THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE requires all members of your family, including dogs, to be present at the time of adoption or meet the animal prior to finalizing the adoption. 


    • THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE requires all cats and kittens to leave in an appropriate, secure carrier.

    • Any monies paid to THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE are considered a donation to provide care for this and other homeless pets and are NOT REFUNDABLE.

    • THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE makes every effort to assure that the animal you adopt is healthy. We do this by having each pet examined by a veterinarian prior to adoption. The exam typically includes the de-worming and vaccination of the animal against communicable diseases including: distemper for cats and kittens. All animals will be spayed/neutered before adoption is finalized. Occasionally, a pet may not show symptoms of an illness until after adoption, as many illnesses have an incubation period of 17-21 days. This is completely unavoidable and occurs not only in shelter/rescue type settings, but also with pet stores, breeders, and any environment where there are a number of animals present at any given time. We require that your new pet be re-examined by a vet within 7 days after the adoption. This is in the animal's best interest and the interest of any existing animals you may have. You will be responsible for all medical expenses incurred after the adoption is completed.

    • THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE strives for the appropriate match of animals and adoptive families based on the known temperament of the animal, as well as, the evaluation of potential adopters and the living environment they will be able to offer the animal. If for any reason the adoption of the animal is unsuccessful, THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE requires that we are notified immediately and the animal is to be returned to THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE.


    • In addition, THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE may claim the adopted animal at any time if it is determined that the adopters have not complied with the requirements of the adoption contract or mislead THE KINDLE AND CLOWDER INSTITUTE at any time during the adoption process. We reserve the right to approve or deny the adoption application. This application is used as part of the adoption approval process in order to determine the best home for the animal.

    • Under no circumstances will any animal be used in any type of animal fighting activity, nor shall it be kept with the intention of promoting aggressiveness or for breeding. (Initials)
