| 1. Contact Alley Cat Guardians via phone or email to begin the adoption process. The ACG Adoption Counselor assigned to the cat(s) you are interested in will contact you, usually within 24 hours. 2. Potential adopter completes the ACG Adoption Application in person or over the phone with an Adoption Counselor. 3. Adoption Counselor will meet prospective adopter at Petsmart (or other arranged location) with foster cat. 4. If the adoption is a good match, the adopter completes ACG Adoption Contract and Petsmart Contract. Adoption fees typically range from $65-$85 (cash only), depending on the age and gender of the cat. All cats are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations (rabies and 3-in-1) and tested negative for Feline AIDS (FIV) and Feline Leukemia (FeLV). Our adoption fees help to cover a portion of our foster cats' veterinary expenses and allow ACG to continue this life saving program. 5. Adoptive family is provided a copy of the ACG Adoption Contract, Adoption Process Overview, Petsmart Contract and all veterinary records. 6. Don't forget to bring a cat carrier with you to take your new feline friend home! If you don't have one, plastic or cardboard carriers can be purchased at Petsmart. 7. Your Adoption Counselor will follow up with you in about a week to make sure things are going smoothly and help with any issues that you may have. Our Adoption Counselors are very experienced cat caregivers and they have lots of good advice to share! |
