In addition to the requirements and terms agreed to by the adopter in the Standard Adoption Agreement, I hereby additionally agree that I will not ever declaw, or allow the declawing of, the cat now trusted to my ownership listed above.

​

I understand that this is a painful and unnecessary mutilation of the cat that could result in chronic paw and back pain, infection, inability to walk properly, and other physical ailments, inability to protect itself, as well as psychological problems that could result in the cat exhibiting behavior such as urinating outside the box, biting, fearfulness, anti-sociability, and aggressiveness.

​

• I agree that Black Cat Society, and/or its designated animal welfare partners, reserve the right to a home visit at my residence to verify the well-being of this cat at a mutually agreeable time and date, within seven days of initial request of such visit.

​

• I agree that I will take the cat to Pawsitive Care in Holly, MI for all required medical care and vaccinations, no less than once per year but whenever needed or advised by Pawsitive veterinary staff.

​

• If either the home visit, vet visits, or any other means of acquiring the information confirm a breach of the terms of this agreement, ownership of the cat will immediately revert to Black Cat Society, and Black Cat Society reserves the right to collect from adopter any cost required to provide necessary medical treatment and re-homing, as well as all attorney fees and court costs that are incurred in enforcing this agreement, at an amount no less than $1,500.00.

  • Refusal or failure to respond to a request for a home visit, or annual vet visits will be considered  as a breach of agreement.​
