There are so many cats out there! So our rescue does adopt out at 8 weeks when they are ready and healthy. We have them sign a contract saying they will bring them back for s/n. We only had a small handful that decided to do it on their own but they did provide proof. But the contract is the way to go!
All our cats go home with at least 1 FVRCP vaccine, flea treatment, combo test for FIV & Felv, microchip, and a dose of deworming. We always tell new owners there might be a chance they might see worms again to contact us for more deworming and they pay a small fee for it.

Subject: Adopting Kittens out before spay or neuter?
Hi All,
We are a non profit TNR (trap, neuter or spay, and release) for feral cats in our community. We are not a rescue group or have a facility to house cats/kittens long term. However, many times we get calls about feral kittens in danger or just too many of them so we take them in. With it being kitten season, we are getting so many calls every day. We recently took in 14 kittens, plus we have 8 from a previous call and another handful we would like to help. Our policy is to spay or neuter before we adopt cats/kittens out. We are however very full and want to get the kittens into homes while they are still little and cute. Is there a way that has proven successfully to adopt them out and still ensure that new owners get the kittens fixed? Perhaps a contract, or increased fee that is returned after proof of spay or neuter?
Thank you for any suggestions
