2. Complete your Kitten Inquiry Form. There is no obligation to adopt by completing the form and no cost for submitting it to us.
Our
kitten inquiry form
contains allergy questions. These help us provide you with feedback on your specific likelihood of adoption success, and steps you can take to prepare for adoption and avoid reactions.
For example, if you are strongly allergic, it can be a great idea to
see an allergist and begin allergy shots. Every step you take to reduce
your sensitivity is a step in the right direction. We can tell pretty
easily if you are open to taking steps to
keep an allergy friendly environment. For example, folks who are
"dying" for a
kitten, but have shag rugs, curtains, overstuffed furniture, live in a
small space, have asthma, and are dismissive of making changes
are not a good bet a successful adoption - the soft furnishings with trap dander and fur (and therefor any feld-1 produced) and create problems over the long run.
2. Order a fur sample and follow our very clear directions on how to allergy challenge with it.
3. Identify and gain commitment from your Safe Home Contact. Your Safe Home Contact signs/notarizes your contract committing to provide a permanent home for your kitten
if allergies arise at any time in the future. We do not refund your adoption
cost. Any money is between your safe home and you, the allergy adopter. We do
not rehome for allergies. We want to be sure that allergic adopters
know they are not "trying out" the kitten.
4. We offer the opportunity to allergy challenge with
our cats.
