Adoption Process Feline

   
  To download application, please click here.

Requirements:
(1) Be at least 21 years of age
(2) Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household
(3) Have approval from owner of residence  (written in lease)
(4) Have  valid ID with current address
(5) Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation (AHF)
(6) Must adopt kittens in pairs.  In order to adopt a single kitten, candidate must have
     another kitten at home.  AHF will  verify that the existing kitten is current with all
      medical requirements

(7) Must live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. 

 Process:
(1) Meet with the animal and talk with Adoption Counselors
(2) Fill out an application
(3) Understand that several applicants may be interested in the animal and it can only go into one home.  Almost Home Foundation makes the decision with the best interest of the animal in mind.  A decision to place the animal in someone else's home in no way implies that your home would not be a wonderful home for one of our animals.  We are merely  trying to make the best decision for the particular animal.
(4) Talk with the Adoption Coordinator.  Please realize that the final decision to place the animal is based on the Adoption Coordinator and at times, Board members.
(5) Understand that in the best interest of the animal,  we require kittens to be adopted in pairs unless there is a companion animal of a similar age at home.
(6) We expect our placements to be lifetime commitments.  We cannot condone a "disposable" pet theory.  If you must give up your animal, you must return the animal to Almost Home Foundation.

 Adoption Fees:

Almost Home Foundation believes that older animals make wonderful pets -- especially for senior citizens.  Pets improve the quality of life and subsequently the elderly live longer with a pet.  We believe that a senior pet for a senior citizen is a winning combination! To promote this, we offer older animals to seniors at a lower adoption fee.  It is our goal to help cover the costs for these older animals through donations, memberships, sponsorships and fundraising.

   Dogs  Cats  For Seniors 65+
