Adoption Terms and Conditions

Our terms exist to keep the animal safe and to make sure each adoption is stable, responsible and safe in the long run.

Our adopted cats will always be part of our team, and we will always do everything we can to support every responsible adoption.

Key requirement

Before we bring the cat to you, your balconies must already be secured.

The main terms

Strictly indoors

The cat must live strictly indoors, in safe conditions and with no access to dangerous spots.

Securing balconies

Balconies must be secured before the cat arrives, either with thick, tall reed fencing or with proper cat netting.

Beware of tilt-open windows

If your windows have a tilt-open position, it must not be used. Many cats have been seriously injured or left disabled by them.

Neutering at the right age

If the cat is not yet neutered because of their young age, they must be neutered at 5–6 months, and you must send us a photo of the health booklet signed by the vet.

A safe cat carrier

You must have a safe carrier with an IATA safety door, so the cat cannot escape on the way to the vet.

If difficulties arise

Letting us know straight away is crucial. With any serious issue, the team needs to know quickly so we can help or arrange a solution.

Cancelling an adoption

If you are unable to meet your obligations to the cat, you must let us know so the process of cancelling the adoption can be arranged.

If your cat goes missing

If the cat gets lost, you must tell us immediately. It is vital that no time is lost, so the team can quickly start searching.

Unexpected vet costs

If for any reason you cannot cover unexpected vet costs, please let us know so we can find a solution together.

Examples of secured balconies

Depending on the character and temperament of the cat being adopted, there are different ways to secure a balcony. The balcony must be fully secured before the animal arrives.

Balcony with reed fencing

The reed fencing should be thick or split reed, not thin. It should rise at least 30 cm above the handrail and run from end to end on the inside of the railing.

Balcony with cat netting

The net should be the green wire-reinforced net or the white fish-farming net.
