Fees

We must have copies of all current vet records. We ask for veterinary test results on the relinquishment form. You do not need to have this information now... but you must prove you did it before we can accept your cat. We urge you to complete the Relinquishment Form NOW to secure your cat's position on the waiting list for foster care. Vet records are to be delivered at the time of your cat's relinquishment, or faxed to us by your veterinarian upon request. There is normally a waiting period for cats needing foster care. You have time to get your pet vaccinated and/or tested before we contact you. We have a very high volume of relinquishment requests and we are not able to give you an estimate on when we will be able to assist you, but getting on the list is recommended. We will contact you by e-mail when space becomes available.

The fees with mothers and kittens has been reduced to help people who find strays and need help. If you can give more, it is greatly appreciated.

**Testing must be current (within the past three months). 

Required testing is for FeLV and FIV.

*Vaccinations must be current (within the past 12 months). 

Required vaccinations are Rabies, RCPC and Bordetella (highly recommended). 

If you are relinquishing a cat that was previously adopted from us, we will do our best to give you priority. Please keep in mind that it is your cat, and not leased from RescueCats and the same rules apply as with any relinquishment, such as vaccinations & testing being up to date. See the list of rules on the previous page. We do not accept drop off cats at PETsMART or at any foster home as we stay full all year long.
