Adoption Application Form

Adoption Application Form

Thank you for choosing to adopt and not shop. The information submitted in this Adoption Application Form will help Pawprint Foundation Ltd to make an informed decision about whether the cat you're applying to adopt is suitable for you and your family in a 'forever home' arrangement. All cats adopted from Pawprint Foundation will be desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
Adoption or Pre-Adoption

This section refers to what adoption process you are applying for.
Are you applying to adopt or pre-adopt?

AdoptPre-adoptI don't know
What is Adoption: This is when the cat has been desexed, microchipped and has received at least one vaccination. When you adopt, you enter a two week trial period to ensure the fit is perfect within your family. After the two week trial period, if you have not advised Pawprint Foundation Ltd that you do NOT wish to go through with the completed adoption, the cat is then legally considered yours.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose, for whatever reasons, not to go through with the completed adoption, you will only be refunded HALF of your adoption fee.

Moving forward in this form, we will refer to the process as "adoption".
What is Pre-Adoption: This is when the cat has NOT yet been desexed or microchipped. This may be due to various reasons but most common is because they have not yet reached the required weight to have the surgery. But no worries as you can still have this beautiful cat join your family when they are ready. The process is similar to Adoption in that you complete the form and, if successful, pay the adoption fee, but you don't get to take the cat home until AFTER they have been desexed, microchipped and had at least one vaccination.

Your two week trial period, which will ensure the fit is perfect within your family, starts the date you take the cat home. After the two week trial period, if you have not advised Pawprint Foundation Ltd that you do NOT wish to go through with the completed adoption, the cat is then legally considered yours.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose, for whatever reasons, not to go through with the completed adoption, you will only be refunded HALF of your adoption fee.

Moving forward in this form, we will refer to the process as "adoption".
What if I don't know which one it is: Whilst we do list when cats are available for adoption or pre-adoption, sometimes you may be so blindsighted by love that you just don't register this information. Not a problem. Just let us know you don't know by selecting this option and we will let you know once we have received your application. The process is very similar for either option so there wont be any dramas. Moving forward in this form, we will refer to the process as "adoption".
