SignatureDate

Please note: Unless you have made prior arrangements with an Open Your Heart foster family or adoption representative, none of our foster cats will be adopted directly from an Adoption Day. We honor this policy with the best interest of our rescued cats at heart. Instead, after your application has been approved, we invite you to visit one of our foster homes to visit with your chosen cat in a quieter and more individual setting. This offers you the opportunity to learn more about the personality of your new cat before you sign the adoption contract, and also gives you a chance to reflect on your decision to adopt a life-long companion. Our motive is simple - to ensure compatible, lasting homes for the animals in our care. Thank you for understanding.
