Adopting a Craig Street Cat
Our St. Patrick's Day kittens, born March 17, 2013.
All Craig Street Cats offered for adoption are already spayed or neutered and have received basic vaccinations. Kittens are ready for adoption at 12 weeks of age, after they have recovered from their surgery
Much thought goes into choosing an adoptive home for one of our cats. We want to be certain that both the cats and the adoptive parents are happy with the arrangements, so that they can live together for many years. Some cats need the company of another cat or dog, some must be only pets. Some love small children, others are afraid of them. For these reasons we interview all prospective pet parents. In some cases we do a home visit, to help the pet parents ensure that their new cat will be safe and secure. In all cases prospective pet parents are required to sign an adoption contract that specifies some of their responsibilities to their new pet. Once a cat is placed in a new home, we do follow up calls to make sure that everything is going well. Although kittens are very cute, and many small children say they want one, we strongly encourage families with toddlers or pre-schoolers to consider adopting adult cats, or kittens over 6 months of age. This is safer for both the child and the kitten.
