Cat Adoption Questionnaire
The policy of the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe is to ensure that each person who adopts a pet not only is aware of the responsibility, but that each person is willing and able to accept that responsibility morally, physically and financially.

This application is designed to help us make the best placement possible — the right home for each animal and the right animal for your home. The adoption process takes time because we are committed to giving you all the information and support you need to have a successful adoption. We ask for your patience and cooperation in the joyful process of bringing people and animals together.

TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN ADOPTION TODAY, YOU MUST:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Provide a suitable confined area for the cat.
• Understand that the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe reserves the right to deny any adoption.
