Things to know when adopting an OCAP cat:
All OCAP cats have been tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency virus. On admission to the shelter, they are brought up to date on core vaccinations (currently Rabies and FVRCP). They are also treated for parasites, earmites, or noticeable health problems as needed.
All cats are spayed or neutered at the appropriate age. If a kitten is adopted before being spayed or neutered, OCAP will cover the usual and customary costs of the surgery at the appropriate time. The aforementioned veterinary services are covered by the standard $35.00 adoption fee.
There is no way to know in advance how a new pet will fit into a family. For this reason, there’s a three-week trial period before an adoption becomes final. This allows the animal and the family to adjust to one another. If it doesn’t feel right for all concerned - people, adopted pet, other animals in the household - the animal may be returned for a full refund within that three-week period. After three weeks, the animal may be returned when space allows but without a refund. There’s no shame in returning an animal that doesn’t work out. Adoptions should be a source of joy for the family and the new pet. Anything less is unacceptable, and the best solution is to return the animal so it can find a more suitable home and the family can find the right pet for their circumstances.
