THE CAT NETWORK, INC.
(Rev.08/04)
P.O. Box 347228

The Cat Network, Inc. is
a nonprofit organization that aids people in
reducing the stray cat population of South Florida by the humane
trapping, low cost sterilization, and adoption of cats and
kittens.
Information if you need to find a home for a cat(s) or
kitten (s):
*WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER:
We cannot "pick up" cats/kittens. You must foster the
cat
yourself until adopted.
*YOU MUST BE A MEMBER: Membership
dues are $20 annually.
*CAT MUST BE TESTED FOR
FELINE LEUKEMIA AND FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY
VIRUS
*CAT MUST BE FREE OF FLEAS, WORMS,
MANGE, EARMITES AND IN GENERAL GOOD
HEALTH
*CAT MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED BY 4
MONTHS: We have a low cost spay neuter
program for
members.
*CAT MUST BE VACCINATED: Vaccines
required dependent on age of cat.
The Cat Network, Inc. will list your cat on our adoption
line which is advertised in the Miami Herald, New Times and Sun
Sentinel. You will be eligible to show your cat at our cat shows,
based on cage availability. The Cat Network, Inc. screens
potential adopters, and refers them to you if your cat/kitten
matches the adopter's desired description. You deliver the cat to the new home, adoption
contract is signed, and an adoption fee of $55 is collected. If
the kitten is under 3 mos. and not spayed or neutered a $50
deposit in the form of a check must be collected and returned
when proof of sterilization is provided. Further
details will be provided to you when your membership and ad fee
is received.
IF YOU CANNOT OR WILL NOT DO THE
ABOVE, HERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS:
Place your own ad in the newspaper. "FOUND" ads are
free for 5 days in the Herald. DO NOT write "free to good
home" or give away - this could invite unscrupulous people
to use your cat for laboratory testing, as food for reptiles, or
some other hideous fate! Make sure the cat is going to a good
home - ask questions! Put up posters or signs with photo and a
cute story at supermarkets, veterinary clinics, church or your
work. Show your cats or kittens yourself outside of supermarkets,
pet stores, book stores, or other public gathering places (ask
permission first).
