Adoption Process

Windmill Animal Rescue is committed to finding the right match between pet and owner. If you are interested in adopting a cat or any other pet in need, we ask that you spend some time with the animal. They love the company and attention, and you will gain a valuable look at how the animal interacts with you and your family. We also use an application and approval process to find the best home for each animal. As a general guideline, kittens should be 9 months or older to be placed in families with children under 5 years old.

Please use the following link to fill out an adoption application. If you prefer a .pdf form, please contact us at windmillanimalrescue@yahoo.com. You can also pick up a paper application at the shelter. After submitting the application and meeting your next furry family member, there is a three day to one week wait for the board to approve the application. If the animal is housed in a private home, the application must be submitted before we can share the foster’s personal information to set up the meet and greet.

Interested in Adopting?

If you are considering adopting a cat or another animal, take some time to research and understand what to expect. Here are some things to consider:

  • Allergies: Do any household members have pet allergies? What about friends and frequent visitors?

  • Care for the pet: Who will feed and play with the cat? Who will clean the litter box? Be sure to consider the time commitment. If you travel, who will care for the pet?

  • Other family members: How do all members of the household feel about adopting a new pet? Does anyone have allergies? Are children comfortable around pets?

  • Other pets: If you have other pets, it’s hard to predict how they will react to a new addition. The pets’ ages, genders and temperaments should all be considered. An isolation period with slow introduction is typically recommended.

  • Rental properties: If you rent your home, be sure to review your lease’s terms regarding pets and obtain approval before you bring a new pet home.

  • Costs: Pets can be expensive — some more than others. Possible costs include vet bills, food and other supplies, boarding and grooming.
