As a 501(C)3) non-profit organization Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota has an adoption fee in order to help them cover expenses. All the above information I have given is true and completed. Should an unfixed cat be placed with me, it is my sole responsibility to make arrangements for that pet to be spayed/neutered by an agreed upon veterinarian on a day agreed upon by myself and Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota and provide proof to Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota of said procedure. This cat will reside in my home as a pet. I will provide it with adequate food, water, shelter, affection, and medical care. I understand that it is my responsibility to evaluate the cat for myself before agreeing to adopt it. All animals at Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota undergo a general evaluation from a licensed veterinarian; this is not a full work up and is not to be constituted as a bill of clean health. I am in full agreement with these terms of adoption. Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota shall not be liable for, and is hereby relieved from, all liability for any damage, expenses, causes of action, fines, suites, demands, judgments of any nature whatsoever arising from the cat being placed in your home. Summiting this form constitutes your permission for us to check references and gives Helping Paws of Southern Minnesota authorization to investigate and review all information provided for truth and accuracy for the purpose of this application.
