Additional adoption info

No cat can be adopted without an adoption questionnaire being completed. You can find the form here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MER/Cat

Our adoption fees are $350 for a kitten one year and under, $175 for adult cats age 1-9yrs, $50 for senior cats age 10+ and $50 for special needs cats. The adoption fee includes testing for FIV and FeLV (FeLV only for kittens less than six months of age) spay/neuter, rabies, distemper, worming, flea treatments etc. Some cats and kittens may not be able to receive all of these vaccines and it will become your responsibility to make sure your new cat's vaccines are tended to. All new parents receive a health record stating what vaccines and treatments the cat has had.
