ADOPTION
Stay-A-While strives to provide the best possible match for our cats and kittens to their new home and family. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption based on the information provided during the pre-adoption interview.

- Cats and kittens must be provided with the veterinary care and necessary vaccinations, both on a regular basis and when the cat or kitten becomes ill.
- Cats and kittens are never to be used for experimentation or research.
