Homing a kitten application form

APPLICATION TO REGISTER AN INTEREST IN HOMING A KITTEN UNDER SIX MONTHS OLD

Foal Farm intends to place a kitten in a home where it will be cared for the rest of its life. We give you all the available advice and information regarding the kitten you have chosen, and also offer you help & advice after adoption.

Please think carefully about your decision, as we consider that you either know you can cope with a kitten or you can’t – and FOAL does not automatically give refunds.

FOAL Farm may refuse the right to adopt a kitten without giving reason. All animals remain the property of FOAL, and are adopted at our discretion.

Please complete all questions below.
