Kootenai Pets for Life - Cat Adoption Form 

Cat's Name

Pet ownership is a serious responsibility. This policy of Kootenai Pets for Life, Inc. is to assure that each person who adopts a pet is aware of the responsibility and that each is capable and willing to accept that responsibility morally, physically and financially. The pets that come into our care have been rescued once and our goal is to see that they are placed in caring life-long homes the second time around. The following questionnaire has been designed to aid both you and KPFL in deciding if you and/or your family is indeed at this moment adequately prepared to assume the type of responsible ownership which we are endeavoring to assure for our adoption animals.                      

Please be sure to answer all questions and feel free to add your own comments.  If a question does not apply write N/A.
