Welcome to KSC

Adoption Application

To help ensure the best possible match between adopter and pet, and to reduce the possibility of the pet being returned, please answer the following questions before making your decision. Remember, this is a lifetime commitment. You will be asked to sign a legal contract when adopting your pet and submit a non-refundable adoption fee to partially reimburse KSC for vet fees, which may include spaying/neutering (if the pet is four months old or older), feline leukemia/FIV test, distemper and rabies vaccinations, and deworming.
