Candy's Cats

The questions we ask allow us to determine if your family will be a good match for the Cat(s) (interchangeable with kitten(s) you are considering. Please read this entire introduction before proceeding.  Candy's Cats (CCI) permits cats to go home on the day of the adoption but relies on verifying responses you provide.  If you do not answer all of the questions, the form will not save and your responses will be lost. Missing information is displayed on the top of your form.

You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt a cat from us. If you live at home, your parents/guardians must fill out the Screening Form. All information on your application will be confirmed. If the information you provide is not able to be verified, we will not proceed with the adoption.   

Except as noted in their bios, all of our kittens must be adopted into a home with another companion kitten or cat friendly dog. If the cats or kittens are bonded, their names will be joined and we will not separate them. 

Completing a Screening Form does not guarantee an adoption. We make an effort to match up the best home for the kitty, so please be patient as we continue to receive applications until the cat is ready for adoption. Once our vetting process is complete, if you are preliminarily selected to adopt we will contact you.    CCI may refuse an adoption without having to state the reason. Please consider possible restrictions such as county regulations, lease/rent/condo rules and pet fees. If you have children, please bring them with you to the meet and greet so we can see how they interact with the cat(s).

Adoption Process

1. Submit Application (Must be over 21 years of age. Photo ID is required. Incomplete answers may cancel the adoption process without further notification.)
The management company/landlord's name, number and website of apartment complex or housing development, must be provided if you rent. If you provide us with proof that you've paid your pet deposit to have the kitten/cat you want to adopt will speed up the process; however, if you haven't paid your pet deposit, plan on doing so the next business day and provide us with proof. We will contact your landlord to confirm that you can adopt the cats and if you have other pets in your home, we will confirm that they are part of the lease as well.

If your ownership of the property does not show on the county records (law enforcement, etc.) please email proof of your ownership of the residence.  Applicants who submit an incomplete screening form may not be considered for adoption or it will delay the processing. Each question must be completely answered to the best of your ability. If we can't verify the information, we will cancel the adoption process without further notification. 

We will call your vet's office to confirm that your pets are spayed/neutered and dogs are up to date on their heartworm prevention, that your cats are fixed and combo tested with results. If the vet's number is not provided, even if you no longer have the pets, we will not be able to proceed.
2. Interview
We may contact you by telephone or email to go over your information.
3. Home Check
We may do a home visit. Refusal to permit us to visit your home at any time during the adoption process will cancel the adoption process.
4. Preliminary Approval
The next step is to set up a meet and greet by appointment. Approval of the written portion of the adoption doesn't guarantee an adoption will take place; that takes place during the meet 'n greet..
5. Meet the Pet
During the meet 'n greet, based on the interaction with the cat(s), our trained volunteers will determine if the adoption can be finalized.  We ask that all family members be present during the meet 'n greet, so if you have small children or are married or have a significant other, please bring them with you so we can see how they interact with the cat(s).
6. Sign Adoption Contract
Our Contract is digital so you will be asked to complete it either before you meet the cat(s) or after you have met the cat(s).  Photo identification must be made available for all adoptions. 
7. Pay Fee
Our adoption fees usually range from $100-$150 per cat(s). We may, at our discretion, change the fee.

YOU MUST BRING A PET CARRIER WITH YOU IN ORDER TO TAKE YOUR CAT HOME. No cat will be taken from the premises without a carrier. You can purchase one at our partner store locations.

Thank you for completing our Screening Form.
