CAT Adoption Application

Cat Adoption Application

The CWDF occasionally places homeless cats and kittens into safe and loving homes for their lifetime. To enable us to fulfill this goal, we ask that you provide us with information regarding their potential home. Your answers may be our assurance that our cats will live in good, permanent homes. Please do not try to anticipate what sort of answers are “correct” since some questions may have more than one answer. Some questions are asked purely to give us a profile of our adopters, or to help us troubleshoot areas we may be able to provide some helpful information and tips. All information is kept strictly confidential. Thank you!

Please take the time to enter all fields accurately and provide as much detail as possible.
This helps us match you with the right cat. Thank you!

If you are adopting a cat through another rescue organization, your application will be automatically forwarded to them. Please follow up with them if you do not receive a response within 48 hours. Thanks!

I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. I understand the adoption decision is dependent on many factors, including but not limited to the compatibility of the family and home to the individual animal, and other applications received on this animal.
