What are the adoption conditions?
Kittens are intended to be part of the family and should be indoor only.
Adopting families will take legal ownership of the kitten, providing for all the kittens needs (food, veterinary care, toys, etc.).
Our team looks to place kittens in families suited to their specific personalities, finding a loving home is our priority.
At the conclusion of the adoption, Kitten Tales Rescue is released from legal liability for the kitten.

How to avoid picking the wrong kitten?
Don’t decide on a kitten that sounds like the best match for your home, without taking into consideration the often WIDE variation in physical and personality characteristics of individual kittens. Make sure to spend time and get to know the actual kitten you are going to adopt as much as possible, before deciding to adopt that individual kitten.
Don’t adopt a new kitten without doing some self reflection, planning and research first. How much time do you have in your life right now to bring in a new kitten that may require training? Are you financially ready if your new kitten is injured, or gets sick?
Don’t make an impulse decision on-site. It can be overwhelming at an adoption event when there are so many adorable furry faces begging you with their sad yes to “pick me pick me” and take them home! If you get emotional in an adoption setting, take a more objective family member or friend along to make sure you are making as good and rational choice of a match for your lifestyle and pet experience.
Don’t let your kids sway you to pick an inappropriate kitten. While involving your children in the kitten adoption selection and adoption process is a wonderful way to teach them about responsible pet ownership and many other important life lessons, you as the adult need to make sure the kitten you adopt is a good selection. Do involve children in age-appropriate decision-making parts of the adoption process: they can help pick out the new kitten’s toys, or a color of collar, and certainly making sure they and the kitten get along is important too!

Should I be concerned over the health of the kitten I adopt?
Kitten Tales Rescue ensures all kittens available for adoption are healthy and have been examined by a veterinarian. Kittens that experience health issues during the foster period are evaluated by a veterinarian and appropriate medical care is provided. If a kitten has a condition that requires monitoring or additional care, all the necessary information will be provided during the adoption process.
