BINGHAM COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY
PRE-ADOPTION APPLICATION
We are very excited that you have decided to adopt one of our kitties! We have just a few questions for you, to make sure everyone gets their happy beginning. Getting a new kitty is like getting a new family member. They need to be treated with love and cared for. It is very important that everyone in the household is on board and will be caring to a new addition. If you can’t answer yes to all these questions, it is probably not a good time for you to be adopting a kitty.
This Adoption Application is not intended to be a binding document but provides for advanced notice to the Bingham County Humane Society of your desire to adopt a specific pet. This pet identification may have been from a visit to the BCHS shelter, or observations made through our website or PetFinder.
If this application is to secure interest in a kitty who is not yet up for formal adoption (new born kitten or kitty currently under treatment), this information will also be used to provide to you, periodic updates on the kitty’s progress.
