CATS FOR ADOPTION

* We currently have some cats who are awaiting veterinary clearance and spay/neuter surgery before they can be placed up for adoption. If you're interested in adopting a cat please get in touch with us and we'll let you know who we have available.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE: Oxford County Animal Rescue does not allow any of our rescues to be declawed, as we feel it's an incredibly inhumane procedure. We may on occasion have cats that were already declawed prior to arriving at the rescue. Please do not apply for a cat if you intend to declaw.

Adoption Procedure:

Step One: Fill out the online adoption application, providing all requested information and contact numbers. 2 Non-Familial references are required, as well as a current vet check (please contact your vet and give permission for them to speak with us).
If your application is incomplete, your application will not move forward.

Step Two: We will review your application, then contact you to arrange a meeting at our office space with your family members, the foster and the kitty if we believe you are the best fit for the kitty. Due to the volume of applications received, unsuccessful applicants will not be contacted and your application will not be kept on file.
You must be 21 years old to adopt.
To facilitate spay/neuter surgery of kittens younger than 6 months of age, priority will be given to applicants residing within a half hour of Woodstock.

Step Three: You meet the cat you're approved to adopt, and if you and foster feel it's a good fit, you may take your new best friend home with you at that point. An Adoption Contract is filled and the adoption fee ($200.00) is collected in cash.
Note: You must have a cat carrier to take the kitty home.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a very strict No-Declaw policy. None of our rescue cats shall be declawed after adoption.

*ADJUSTMENT PERIOD: Different cats have different behaviours and have different adjustment periods. Some cats may adjust right away, others may take a few weeks or even months. This can be especially true if other pets are involved. Adjustment behaviour may include vocalization (especially at night), door dashing, scratching furniture, not eating/overeating, hiding, personality conflicts with existing pets, etc.

There may be numerous applications for one kitty, the successful adopter may not be the first applicant. Filling out an application does not guarantee you are the best fit. We are not able to ‘keep your application on file, in case another kitty comes along’.

There are no 'meet and greet' opportunities (read their bio carefully to determine if the kitty will be a good fit) before an application has been received.

We do not provide a delivery service, nor discount the adoption fee for any reason. The adoption fee allows us to place a healthy, vetted kitty in your home, and help the next one who needs us.
