I wish to sign a simple contract for the adoption of my cat. Do you have a sample and does a contract protect the cat?
The purpose of an agreement/contract is to build trust and accountability between the fosterer and adopter and thus it is an important part of the adoption process. It also makes the adopter aware of the responsibilities required of him or her as a cat owner.
We have provided 2 sample agreements/contracts which you can download and amend for your own use.
Sample Trial Adoption Agreement
(To remove the "SAMPLE" from the document, edit the "Header and Footer" of the page. Click on 'View' on the menu bar and select "Header and Footer". Then select the "SAMPLE" and delete it.)
The police is not the enforcing body of such an agreement/contract but a civil court. Only cases of animal cruelty would fall under the jurisdiction of the police.
Any disputes, such as the adopter did not live up to the responsibilities stated in the agreement/contract, would need to be brought before a civil court.
