Welcome to LCAR

Thank you for your interest in adopting a cat/kitten from St. Francis Farm. Our goal is to rescue as many cats as possible and to place them into suitable homes for the rest of their days. With this adoption we hope that you will assist us in our goal by providing every opportunity for this cat to excel in your home. Adoption is a lifelong commitment. If you are ready and willing to make this commitment, take the next step and fill out this application!

Do note that each application will be processed and references will be contacted before our representatives contact you. It may take 3-5 days depending on how many applications we are processing. We will reach out to you as soon as possible.

Do you understand that despite all of our efforts to our cats as healthy as we can, that as living breathing creatures, there will always be a risk that the cat could be harboring an unknown illness and require medical attention after you have adopted it and that this will be YOUR responsibility financially?*

Do you understand that should this animal become sick, YOU will be responsible for all of its medical care after the adoption contracts have been completed? *

Do you understand that should you choose to NOT proceed with proper medical care that this will be considered medical neglect and the adoption contract will become null and void and the animal will become the property of Last Chance Animal Rescue?*

Do you understand that it is possible that this animal may at some point develop and exhibit behaviors (hissing, scratching, destruction of property, etc) that could require professional intervention? It will be your obligation as the adopter to address these concerns and financially assume the responsibility. *

Our cats are litter box trained prior to adoption. However, some may experience accidents in their new home setting. Are you willing to work with your new cat and be patient as they acclimate to a new home setting? *

If a behavioral problem arises, what steps will you take to work on it?*

Do you understand that you are making a lifelong commitment to help this animal to transition into its new environment and that you are expected to do whatever it takes to help this animal become an integral part of your family and home?*

Declawing is a painful and torturous procedure that removes 1/3 of the cat's paw. It would be as if someone amputated your fingers at the first knuckle. The front claws are a cat’s primary means of self-defense and escape against the many dangers and predators in our area if the cat were to get outside. Declawed cats are often in chronic pain, and may develop aggression or litterbox problems. If you are looking specifically for a declawed cat, we can help find you a cat that has already been declawed. After reviewing this information, would you be willing to sign a waiver agreeing that you will never declaw your cat? *

Are you aware that we may require a Home Visit to be done before approving this application? *

Would you allow an SFF representative to visit your cat in their new home?*
