Adoption Application This application is considered an exchange of something valuable; our kitties are very dear to us and we put a lot of time and investment in them emotionally, mentally and physically. No amount of money can cover that. Instead, your application creates value where we can feel it is a worthy exchange, from our services towards our kitties, to presenting them to you, and every heart felt moment in between. Please handle with care and welcome!

Many people have different ideas about pet nutrition. We feed our rescues a premium quality brand cat food and recommend that you keep the on this food. After extensive research and participation, we truly believe this is a better choice of food. It is not more expensive to feed, they eat less therefore, it costs less to feed them. There are no fillers, no corn, no by products, no chemical preservatives, and no recalls. We would like to send you an invite to our website where you can get an account established at no charge to you. We will offer this food with the adoption since they have already been on it and give you a brief introduction to our products. Please specify if you would like a website invite (in which the company will send you an email, and you would have to accept the invite). This does not affect the adoption process. *
Choose one:
Yes, please send me an invite to your recommended premium quality, holistically made pet food, treats and product's website.
No, I do not want to get an invite now, but instead, send me more information about your products.
I am undecided at this time and will learn about it when I am adopting.
Would you like us to sign you up for newsletters from our Pet Food Company? They are mostly blog articles, varying on pet's in general, from safety to health concerns. Also included are articles that relate to human health along with products that we offer to humans. *
