The Adoption Process
STANDARD ADOPTION
Step 1.
Click on the APPLY TO ADOPT button below and complete the form.
Step 2.
If your application is accepted, a home visit will be arranged. During the home visit, a representative from Sunshine Cat Rescue (SCR) will meet with you at your home to discuss the cat/kitten you’re interested in and the suitability of the cat to your home. Also, we discuss the basics of responsible cat ownership.
Step 3.
Following a successful home visit, the fosterer who has the cat or kitten that you are interested in will contact you to arrange a time to meet the cat/kitten.
Step 4.
Visit the cat! When you have met the cat/kitten and if you’re happy that this is the right cat for you and your family, you can adopt her/him right away! The fee (minimum donation) for adoption is £90.00. Each cat and kitten in our care has had at least one veterinary check, flea treatment, and worming. Additionally, all cats over 5 months old are neutered before being re-homed. Please note that this fee is a minimum donation. The true cost of feeding, caring for, veterinary treatment, spaying/neutering can be considerably more and we always welcome a further donation.
Step 5.
Take your kitty home! The fosterer will advise you when you pick up your cat/kitten, of their routine, food, last date of flea and worm treatment, and any other pertinent information. They are always happy to speak to you regarding any concerns, advice, or even just to receive an update on how your new family member is getting on.
This may sound like a long process, but in reality the process can move quite quickly. Our main priority is to place the right cat or kitten in the right forever home.
Within 6 months of re-homing your cat/kitten, a representative of SCR will contact you again to arrange a second visit, when details of neutering, vaccination and micro-chipping can be confirmed – and to meet a happy cat/kitten and a happy family.
HOME TO HOME ADOPTIONS
This is a service Sunshine Cat Rescue can offer if a cat or kitten is able to stay with the current owners until a suitable and appropriate home is found.
This is very beneficial for the cat as it will only be moved once therefore minimising any stress. The two parties involved often stay in touch with each other which can be very reassuring for the human needing to part with their cat/kitten.
We will need as much information as possible to enable us to find the right home for any kitty.
The owner must reside within our area of West Oxfordshire and be prepared for a potential adopter visiting the cat in their home.
If the cat is not neutered and/or micro chipped then this must be carried out before going to a new home.
Sunshine Cat rescue will visit any potential home prior to rehoming of any cat or kitten.
Sunshine Cat Rescue cannot be held responsible for any information that is withheld at the time of adoption but can, with the current owners permission, try to obtain any medical history.
Sunshine Cat Rescue cannot take any responsibility for any issues that may arise following rehoming whether medical or behavioural.
