There may be more than one application for a cat. The Cat Cove reserves the right to select the best application for each
cat. We reserve the right to decline an application based on the best interest of the cat. The applicant understands that
any false, incomplete or misleading statements on this application are grounds for denial of the application and or
immediate return of the cat to The Cat Cove. You will be asked to review and sign an Adoption Contract at the time of
discharge.
All cats must be picked up from the adoption site in a cat carrier.
Adoption donations can be paid by Cash, Check or Debit/Credit
There will be a $5.00 charge for all debit/credit transactions.
There will be a $35.00 service charge for all returned or non-sufficient fund checks.
The Cat Cove reserves the right to refuse service to anyone and may deny adoptions at their discretion . Most of the cats at
The Cat Cove have experienced physical and or psychological trauma, coming from shelters or being abandoned by their
previous owners. Because of this, The Cat Cove feels it is imperative that our cats be adopted into homes that offer health,
happiness, safety, longevity and permanence. If you are denied adoption of a cat, The Cat Cove asks that you not feel
offended, but realize that The Cat Cove and you do not share the same philosophies regarding cat care.
