When you choose to adopt one of Windy Hill Kitten Rescue's animals, the minimum adoption donation is $60.
Spay or Neuter
Feline Leukemia/FIV test (Feline Aids) (FIV if 6 months or older)
First FVRCP, Distemper, vaccination. Depending on the cat's age and how long we have had it, additional vaccinations are sometimes provided by us; if not, they are the responsibility of the adopter.
Rabies vaccine (if old enough)
De-fleaing
De-worming
These services would ordinarily run up a bill of well over $200.00. Of course an adoption donation of over $40.00 is always welcome, since many times we must provide additional medical care such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, x-rays, blood panels, fecal tests, treatment for ear, eye, upper respiratory infections, and viruses. Remember though, all veterinary care once you've adopted a new pet into your family, are your responsibility for the life of your pet.
*Please note that in certain cases of cats that are pure-bred or rare breeds, the adoption donation may be higher.
Ensuring good homes for our rescued animals is important to us.
To help ensure that we place our cats in loving, responsible, and committed homes, we have a screening process involved in adopting a pet from Windy Hill Kitten Rescue. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary.
Return Policy
If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you've adopted from us, you can do so within 72 hours for a full refund of the adoption donation. After that, be it months or years later, if you need to give up your Windy Hill Kitten Rescue cat or kitten, and you are unable to find a suitable home, you must return him/her to Windy Hill Kitten Rescue. We won't be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place him/her in a new home. We don't ever want our kitties to end up homeless and neglected again!
Making a Commitment
Windy Hill Kitten Rescue cats are so for life...we're always here to answer questions and help solve problems. By adopting a cat from Windy Hill Kitten Rescue, you're making a commitment to provide love, care, and medical treatment for the life of the cat, which can be up to 20 years. Adopting a cat is a serious commitment, but one that is rarely regretted! Please take this responsibility seriously.
Please consider the following, when selecting a kitten:
Young children may put a young kitten at risk, during their playtime. I do adopt kittens to families with young children, but I normally recommend an older kitten to them. Adult supervision should be present when young children are initially handling young kittens.
An older kitten has several advantages, not seen in a young kitten. These include:
Better sociability, as they are more mature.
Know how to use the litter box properly and have healthy eating habits.
More developed immune system, which means a less stressful time adjusting to a new home.
Received all of their vaccines, and have been de-wormed.
Have physical attributes that are well defined (coat, color, etc.).
The ability to retreat from another dominant cat, overactive dog, or other threatening situation.
