Kitten Adoption Agreement

KITTEN HEALTH INFORMATION

Congratulations, you are adopting a kitten from ANIMART’s Furry Purry Rescue.  Exact history on these kittens is not known.  Our veterinary staff is responsible for the health and well-being of all our animals.  Rescue kittens often require treatment for various ailments and may still be on medication at the time of adoption.  It is your responsibility to continue these treatments and return for a scheduled veterinary visit so progress can be monitored.  Contact our veterinary department at 608.242.2140 ext 3, then 6 with any concerns.  Treatment for existing conditions continued through ANIMART’s Veterinary Wellness Clinic is at no additional cost to you.  We are not, however, a full service veterinary clinic offering complete laboratory or emergency care and we do not pay for visits you may make to other clinics.

VACCINATIONS

The first full year of vaccinations, including Rabies, is included in the adoption fee.  If not already administered, it is your responsibility to bring your kitten to ANIMART’s vaccination clinics to complete necessary vaccinations at no additional charge.  See the Pet Health Record for your pet’s vaccination schedule.  Vaccinations include: feline rhinotracheitis, calici, panleukopenia and Chlamydia psittaci.

PARASITES

All kittens are routinely dewormed and tested for internal parasites.  See the Pet Health Record for history.  It is your responsibility to administer any needed treatments and return to ANIMART for any additional lab work as indicated on the Pet Health Record.  There are no additional veterinary or treatment costs for existing conditions through ANIMART’s Veterinary Wellness Center.

SURGERY

Your new pet has been spayed or neutered and may be front declawed.  It is your responsibility to bring your kitten to ANIMART for suture removal – at no additional cost – if indicated on the Pet Health Record.  To prevent paw infections if declawed we recommend pelleted litter for two weeks after the date of the surgery.  Please see the Pet Health Record for dates.

OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS

Your new kitten has received a Certificate of Health by ANIMART’s veterinarian.  Any conditions noticed on the health exam and treatments are noted on the Pet Health Record.  Current medications will be dispensed to you at the time of adoption.  It is your responsibility to administer any needed treatments and return to ANIMART for any additional exams as indicated on the Pet Health Record.  There are no additional veterinary or treatment costs for existing conditions through ANIMART’s Veterinary Wellness Center.

LIMITED HEALTH GUARANTEE

ANIMART offers a Limited Health Guarantee to ensure that you and your new kitten get off to a great start.  Your new kitten is guaranteed to be free of any known infection or disease, unless otherwise noted at time of sale on the Pet Health Record, for a period of 14 days.

Any existing condition will continue to be treated and monitored by ANIMART’s Veterinary Wellness Center at no additional charge.  It will be your responsibility to administer treatments and return for visits as directed.

ITEMS NOT COVERED

• Conditions which cannot be related to occurring before the adoption date.
• Future doses of flea and tick prevention.  
• ANIMART will not refund towards any veterinary bills without prior approval and will not refund in excess of the purchase price of the kitten.

RETURN POLICY

ANIMART knows that even the best planning is met with unforeseen circumstances, hindering one's ability to fulfill a lifelong promise to an ANIMART pet.  For cases such as these, ANIMART offers a 48-Hour Return Policy:  within 48 hours of the purchase of an ANIMART kitten, ANIMART will gladly refund a customer's money less a $50 administration fee.

Bringing a kitten back to ANIMART is emotionally hard on the pet owner and disorienting to the pet. The policy's administration fee is in place to discourage impulse sales and "rent-a-pet" purchases of ANIMART pets. The fee also pays for associated veterinary care and re-entry of the pet into an ANIMART store.

Besides matching the right pet and people, our goal is that no ANIMART pet ends up homeless or burdens an animal shelter.  If an ANIMART pet owner finds he or she can no longer keep their commitment to an ANIMART pet, we can help find a new home through ANIMART’s Furry Purry Rescue program or Pet Connection.

REFUNDS

Once approved by ANIMART’s Veterinary department and or adoption counselor, refunds will be processed within 14 business days by credit card or check.

Adoption Agreement

_____  I realize that I am adopting a RESCUE kitten/cat and accept the fact of unknown risks associated regarding the health or behavior of the RESCUE kitten/cat I am adopting.

_____    I understand my pet’s medical, vaccination and treatment needs and agree to continue any needed treatments, vaccinations or tests as indicated on the Pet Health Record.

_____    I have read and understand ANIMART’s Limited Health Guarantee, including my responsibilities, items not covered, return and refund policies. 

_____    I understand that Animart is not responsible for any allergies or zoonotic diseases that members of the household may have or develop with the adoption of my new pet.  

_____    I also understand that Animart cannot guarantee against any type of behavioral problem.  I realize that it is my responsibility to investigate these types of problems and find my own solution.

_____    I realize that many pets given as gifts are not truly appreciated and may not be the love of a lifetime.  If this kitten is a gift, that person is either:  1) my child and I accept all responsibilities of ownership  2) an adult signing this agreement as the owner.

_____    I am 21 years old (verified by ID), I either own my own home or have the permission of my landlord to have this pet in my apartment (verified by copy of lease or written permission by landlord), and all persons living with me have agreed with my adoption and responsibilities of owning this pet.

_____    When adopting a pet, I understand that it is like adding a new member to the household to be a permanent part of the home and family.  I am committed to providing my new pet a healthy, loving long-term home.  

I have read, I have complete understanding and I agree to all the information stated above.
