Adoption Process
We recommend that people visit more than once in order to get the chance to really get to know the cats. After two or three visits, it often becomes clear where mutual interest exists. We only agree to an adoption if the chosen pets show affection for their potential new guardian.
We place great importance on the adoption being a permanent success. In order to ensure that, we do a lot of groundwork beforehand and openly and transparently inform the prospective adopters of the history of each cat, tell them what we know of the animal’s character traits and how we assess their behaviour. Of course we are also interested in the ideas of the prospective adopters.
The Adoption Process
The home visit
Before you can adopt one of our cats, we will visit you and see if you can provide an animal-friendly home for the cat. This includes the usual paraphernalia like cat tree or scratching post, litter box, sleeping and feeding area. We advise you on poisonous plants, the risk of potential accidents and injuries in your household and recommend food and litter.
We do not re-home our cats into flats with a balcony that is not cat-safe.
It’s a persistent rumor that cats don’t fall off balconies. It’s also a rumor that cats always fall onto their feet and won’t get injured. Quite on the contrary: veterinarian practices are full of cats with internal injuries, broken limbs and torn organs that were caused by such an accident. In this regard, we don’t make any exceptions.
The contract
We conclude a contract with you and you will pay an adoption fee. Depending on the age and race of the cat, the fee will be between 80 and 150 €. By signing the contract, the cat will legally become your possession but not yet your property.
The formal property rights will transfer to you after a period of 6 months. During this time, we will make another home visit.
The adoption fee doesn’t reflect the costs incurred by our association. It contributes to covering the costs of the association only in a small way. These costs exceed the sum of the adoption fee many times over.
It’s not a purchase price but rather a proportional share of the costs.
Please stay home on the day of re-homing. We don’t want the cat to associate the stress of transport with you. Usually, there will be two of us coming to bring you your new family member (or your new family members). We will stay for a few minutes and then leave you alone to give you a chance to get to know each other in your new surroundings.
