These points will also guide the backend application review process once the dashboard is fully connected.
Adoption fee
Adoption support keeps care moving.
Gentle Paws requests a modest adoption fee to help offset food, daily supplies, veterinary attention, health care, socialization, and other essential needs while kittens are in rescue care.
Every kitten deserves a second chance and a lifetime of love. Gentle Paws provides compassionate care while carefully matching each kitten with a safe, nurturing, permanent home.
Adopting a kitten is a long-term commitment requiring patience, financial responsibility, and daily care. Kittens should become cherished family members.
Adopters should provide clean, secure indoor living, fresh food and water, routine veterinary care, daily companionship, enrichment through toys and play, and lifelong commitment.
Every kitten receives attentive daily care while in custody. Available health information accompanies the kitten when adoption is complete.
Every kitten has a unique personality, temperament, and needs. Gentle Paws helps prospective adopters find a companion that suits their family and lifestyle.
Gentle Paws may decline or postpone any application if a placement may not be in the kitten's best interest.
