Cat Adoption Application

MFP strives to place pets in compatible homes by matching traits exhibited by the pet with the adopting person(s) home environment and desired pet characteristics. MFP may conduct a home visit at its discretion. There is a $125 adoption fee. All of our cats are spay/neutered, tested for FiV and Feline Leukemia, fully vaccinated, treated for any parasites and microchipped with a lifetime registration. Adoption fees may be waived on certain cats (Seniors and Special Needs cats). These fees help us continue our rescue work. Please note, regardless of where our adoption fees are set, they do not cover all the costs incurred to house and provide veterinary care for our cats and kittens. Please be aware of our Companion Pet Policy. We prefer that our kittens go to homes that already have a young companion animal or to a home willing to adopt two kittens. So that the best interests of the pet are served, MFP reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone.
