Some NGAA kitties who found forever love...
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Does it cost anything to adopt a cat or kitten?
A. Yes. There is an adoption fee of around $95 (it can be higher for some cats, lower for others). That helps us make sure people are serious and committed to adopting and also helps cover the cost of vet care (all our cats are spayed or neutered and are up to date on their shots before adoption).
Q. How soon can I get my new cat or kitten?
A. Once you've turned in your adoption application, NGAA will review it and contact your references. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on how hard it is to reach people. If your application is approved, you will be contacted and our cat coordinator will arrange for you to pick up your new cat or kitten.
Q. Why do I have to sign a contract?
A. We assume a long-term commitment to animals we rescue. Your contract will include things like what to do if you can no longer care for your cat (return it to us) and certain standards of care you agree to.
Q. How should I prepare for my new cat or kitten?
A. It would be great to bring a carrier with you when you pick it up. Find out what kind of food it's been eating and have that on hand for it (you can switch to another food, but it's best to do that gradually). Have litter box and food areas set up at home. If you have children, talk to them about being kind to animals, explain your new pet may be afraid at first and how it's best not to overwhelm it. Have a plan for slowly introducing your new pet to pets you already have. Be prepared to be patient -- it can take a little time for your new cat or kitten to adjust.
