Countryside Animal Rescue
Cat Adoption Application Online

Countryside Animal Rescue takes our animals very seriously. This application is a thorough attempt to let us know if the animal you have an interest in will be a good match for you and your family.We want the Adoption process to be a pleasant and rewarding experience for You and your new pet.

We will make a home visit prior to acceptance of your adoption application. We feel strongly that we are seeking a forever home for these animals and do not want to put the pet at risk in a bad situation, nor do we want a family to take on more than they are capable of dealing with financially or emotionally. Our home visits are only done to make certain that you are able to provide a safe, secure and loving environment for the animal.We are not looking at your housekeeping abilities and practices. Please note that Countryside Aimal Rescue reserves the right to place or not to place any particular animal into any home and an approved application gives not right to any animal.

Please fill out the application below completely. Be sure to answer ALL the questions. If the question does not apply, simply leave it blank. Some of the questions may take some time and thought – take your time in answering. Thank you for considering adopting an animal from Countryside Animal Rescue
