CR!FR - Adoption Application

CATS RULE! Feline Rescue - Adoption Application Thank you for your interest in adopting a CR!FR cat. We will review your application and contact you to discuss the cat &/or to arrange a home visit. We only adopt locally in the Northern Virginia/WDC/ Southern Maryland area. Adoption fees are $125 per cat to help offset veterinary costs. All CR!FR cats have been tested for FLEUK & FIV and are current on their vaccinations. Cats who are 5 months old or older are spayed or neutered before they are adopted to their new home.
