Adoption Follow-Up

Revised November 2018

• RCR will sterilize  all cats and kittens (12 weeks of age or older) before adoption can proceed.

• RCR will only adopt to people who have been appropriately screened by a member of the Pet Rescue Team or Satellite Adoption Centre employee, and who agree to sign and honour the statements as laid out in the RCR “Adoption Contract”.

• RCR will collect the following non-refundable adoption fees: 

- $100 for vaccinated, sterilized older cats (10 years or older)
- $140 for vaccinated, sterilized cats and kittens
- $200 for vaccinated, sterilized cats in bonded pairs

• RCR will perform follow-up calls to check on adjustment to new home.

• RCR will appropriately action any situation where the adoption contract has not been honoured, when the foster parent or call back volunteer has concerns about the adoption, when notified by the new owner that the cat has been lost or injured, or when the new owner expresses a wish to return the pet to RCR.

• A designated member of the Pet Rescue Team will enter all applicable data on the cat, adopter and associated data as appears in the RCR database. Records are kept in accordance with Regina Cat Rescue’s Privacy Policy.

A designated member of the Pet Rescue Team will inquire during the follow up as to whether or not the adopter wishes to register for a six-week free trial of pet insurance. The adopter has no obligation to continue this insurance after the trial period, and it will automatically expire if the adopter does not sign up for additional insurance. If the adopter agrees, a pet rescue volunteer will activate the trial.

• The tattoo and microchip record, if applicable, will be transferred to the new owner by a designated member of the RCR Pet Rescue team, or by the new owner as is outlined in the “Adoption Contract”. 

• A copy of the Spay-Neuter record will be given to the new owner at the time of the adoption; the original will be the property of RCR. Contracts, veterinary records and other information for individual cats will be entered into the RCR database post-adoption.
