Adoption Information "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!" Adopters will go through a careful screening process before being approved. This will include an Adoption Application, telephone interviews, and home visits (if so desired by KC Siamese Rescue* [see below]). If you're interested in adopting one of our meezers, please contact Jennifer Bestor, Adoption Coordinator, at adoptameezer@kc.rr.com. We do have an adoption fee. For the most part, our Siamese will be $100 for adults and $125 for kittens. Domestic shorthair cats and kittens will be $80 to $100 and other breeds, such as Abyssinians, Oriental Shorthairs, etc., will range between $125 to $225. The adoption fee rarely covers all of the expenses that are required to prepare a cat for adoption. Average costs are as follows: Spaying/Neutering - $65 to $150 Feline Leukemia/FIV testing - $40 Vet Examination - $25 to $40 Vaccines (distemper/bordetella/rabies) - $25 to $40 Treatment for Parisites (ie fleas/earmites/worms) - $25 Other expenses could include pre-surgery blood work, dentals on older cats, treatment for upper respiratory infections, all types of surgeries (i.e., corrective surgery for botched declaws, broken legs, even amputations and many other medical issues). The importance of spaying and neutering cannot be stressed enough. There are more cats in the area than we can ever rescue and place into loving homes. We all need to do our part in controlling the overpopulation of cats and dogs. If you'd like more information on early spaying and neutering, please go to The Winn Feline Foundation. Our policy is that all cats adopted from Kansas City Siamese Rescue WILL BE STRICTLY INDOOR CATS. Kansas City Siamese Rescue reserves the right to reclaim the cat, should the adoption not be in the best interest of the new owner and the cat. *Potential adopters need to be in our geographical area (Kansas/Missouri), unless special arrangements are made, due to lack of transportation and the inability to do home visits. If it is an adult cat and you live out of the area, please contact us to see if we would be able to place the cat with you if you provide transportation. On occasion, we have been able to allow certain cats to travel out-of-state. It depends a lot on the cat, its needs and its personality. The decision will be made based on individual cases. Complete BOTH the Adoption Application and the Vet Reference Form and send to: Kansas City Siamese Rescue P.O. Box 1245 Lee's Summit, MO 64063 A $5.00 processing donation is requested
