When you choose to adopt one of Starlight Rescue's animals the minimum adoption donation is $100.*

Each of our cats and kittens have already been:
~Spayed or Neutered
~Testing for FeLV (Feline Leukemia)
~Testing for FIV (Feline AIDS) for cats six months and older.
~First FVRCP vaccination. Depending on the cat's age and how long we have had it, additional vaccinations are sometimes provided by us; if not, they are the responsibility of the adopter.
~De-fleaing
~De-worming (tape and round worm)
~Microchipped

These services would ordinarily run up a bill of well over $300. Additional donations are always welcome, since many times we must provide medical care such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, x-rays, blood panels, fecal tests, treatment for ears, eyes, upper respiratory infections, and viruses. And remember, all veterinary care after adopting a new pet into your family, is your responsibility for the life of your pet.

To help ensure that we place our cats in loving, responsible and committed homes, we have a screening process involved in adopting a pet from Starlight. We reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary. Occasionally, a home delivery or visit may be made as a required part of the adoption procedure.

If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you've adopted from us, you can do so within 72 hours for a full refund of the adoption donation. After that, be it months or years later, if you need to give up your Starlight cat or kitten and you are unable to find a suitable home, you must return him/her to Starlight. We won't be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place him/her in a new home. We don't ever want our kitties to end up on the streets or at the Shelter again!

Starlight cats are so for life... We're always here to answer questions and help solve problems. By adopting a cat from Starlight, you're making a commitment to provide love, care and medical treatment for the life of the cat, which can be up to 20 years. Adopting a cat is a serious commitment, but one that is rarely regretted! Please take this responsibility seriously. If your are unable to make such a 20 year commitment, why not become a foster parent instead?
