Adoption conditions and procedure

Think before deciding to adopt a cat

• Are you ready to accept a cat as a new family member?
• Are you ready to take care of it for 15 to 20 years - their natural life span?
• Are you ready for the new expenses related to the new family member?
• Do you know who will take care of the cat if you are away?

If you are still interested in adopting a cat, think of what kind of a cat you would like to adopt, read the adoption conditions and contact us.

Adoptable cats

• kittens, up to 7 months of age,
• young cats from 7 to 12 months of age,
• adult cats from 1 to 8 years of age,
• older cats from 8 years of age onwards,
• cats with special needs.

All cats adopted through the Cat House project are:

• healthy and inspected by a veterinarian (except cats with chronic diseases, when adopting those, you receive all instructions on how to care for a cat with a chronic disease),
• of adoptable age (all kittens are at least 12 weeks or older, which is also the minimal legal age to adopt a kitten),
• treated against external and internal parasites (against works, fleas and scabs),
• inoculated against infectious diseases (cat distemper, herpes and Calicivirus),
• microchipped (upon adoption, your information is entered into the registry and you become a legal owner of your cat)
• spayed or neutered.

Necessary conditions for cat adoption

• The cats are adopted exclusively as indoor cats.
• The cat should have a high quality, regular diet.
• We insist that the cat has regular and high quality veterinary care, including yearly inoculations against infectious diseases.
•  We request that you are committed to safety – we expect the cat to live to its natural age, which is 15 to 20 years.
