🐾 A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT OUR ADOPTION POLICIES 🐾
At Misty's Itty-Bitty Kitties, every single baby that comes through our doors receives an incredible amount of love, time, dedication, and care. From sleepless nights and round-the-clock feedings to veterinary care, cleaning, worrying, and fighting for the lives of these tiny, fragile babies, we put our blood, sweat, tears, and hearts into every kitten we save. These babies are not just kittens to us, they are lives we have fought hard to protect, and we take finding them the right homes very seriously. ❤️
With that being said, there are a few things every potential adopter needs to understand.
📌 1. Adoption applications MUST be completed in FULL!
When we send out an adoption application, we expect it to be completed thoroughly and honestly. Unfortunately, the majority of applications we receive are missing information or are only partially completed. An incomplete application may result in automatic disqualification.
Our application is not complicated, and taking the time to complete it properly is the first step in showing us that you are serious about adopting one of our babies. If you cannot take a few minutes to complete an application, how can we feel confident that you are prepared to take on the responsibility of caring for a kitten who may require extra attention, patience, and dedication?
We are not asking for anything unreasonable. We are asking for the same level of commitment that we give these babies every single day.
📌 2. Interest in a kitten does NOT guarantee adoption!
Submitting an application or expressing interest in one of our kittens does not automatically make that kitten yours. Every application will be thoroughly reviewed, and we reserve the right to select the applicant we feel is the best fit for each individual kitten.
📌 3. Communication is essential!
If we email you regarding your application or your interest in a kitten, please respond in a timely manner. We cannot and will not chase people down repeatedly to determine whether they are still interested.
If we send multiple emails and receive no response, we will move forward with the next eligible applicant. Once we have done so, you cannot simply assume that the kitten is still being held for you or that you are still in line to adopt.
Our rescue will not put a kitten’s future on hold indefinitely while waiting for someone to respond. These babies deserve families who are responsive, reliable, and genuinely ready to welcome them home.
📌 4. Please respect our time and the adoption process!
We understand that life gets busy, and we understand that things happen. However, communication and follow-through matter. We spend countless hours caring for these babies, often sacrificing sleep and personal time to give them the best possible chance at life. We ask that potential adopters respect the time and effort we put into this process.
Our policies are in place to protect our kittens and ensure they go to safe, loving, committed homes. They are not meant to inconvenience anyone, and they are not up for debate.
🐱 At the end of the day, our responsibility is to the kittens—not to meet the expectations of people who are unwilling to follow the process.
We will always do what we believe is best for the babies in our care. If you are genuinely interested in adopting, please complete your application in full, communicate with us, and respect the process.
These little lives depend on us to make the right decisions for them. We will never apologize for taking that responsibility seriously. ❤️🐾
Thank you to the applicants who are patient, respectful, communicative, and understand just how much goes into rescuing and raising these precious babies. You are appreciated more than you know! 🐾💕
Thank you!
Misty & Brandi
