In an effort to do our part to control
over-population in the feline community and to help find safe homes
for the homeless, the Cat Clinic of Cobb provides this adoption
center for kittens.
All of the cats in our adoption center have
received the following medical treatment:
- A negative blood test for both Feline
Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
- A fecal check for intestinal parasites and
deworming if indicated
- A first set of vaccinations for Feline
Distemper and Upper Respiratory Viruses
- A flea bath
Adoptees are made available at a charge of
$35.00 to responsible owners, with the provision that the
prospective owners are over twenty-one years of age, residents of
the State of Georgia and able to sign a contract promising to
provide appropriate care in an inside environment for their cat.
Adoptors agree to complete their cats' vaccinations and have them
spayed or neutered before they reach six months of age. Adoptors
who fail to comply with the contract terms must make a $200
donation to the Humane Society of Cobb County to fight pet
overpopulation. The responsible party must sign the agreement;
kittens are not to be given as gifts to third parties.
The staff of the Cat Clinic of Cobb wishes to
emphasize that there is no such thing as a free pet. Adoptors of a
kitten should expect to spend from $250 to $400 during the first
year of its life, including such costs as vaccinations, spaying or
neutering, declawing, litterbox and supplies, and food. Maintenance
costs for an adult cat average between $150 and $200 per year.
Please be sure that you are ready for such a responsibility before
considering adoption. The life of a cat could depend on you!
