Our adoption fees upon approval and a successful adoption and the animal going home are non-refundable. We ask that you respect this policy and please not apply if you do not agree. However, in the event of disaster, the Whiskers Fund stands by our animals and won't leave them in a bad situation. We stand by them for life. This still does not mean a refund will be awarded.

Yes, I Understand
No, I won't be applying

Whiskers Fund mission statement key points: 1) We do everything for the betterment of the animals we save. Everything we do and how we do it is for them. 2) We put their best interests first. 3) We are a small rescue, but we work FAST. 4) We send animals home fully vetted (age appropriately), and do not adopt out before they are ready. 5) All of these points mean, we do not place animals on hold. If we discuss an animal, and you more through the approval process, you understand that if your timeline isn't in the animals best interest, (weeks, months, etc.) we will adopt them elsewhere (if another suitable, safe and acceptable option is available). Once you are approved, we work to make your adoption finalized within a matter of days - at most.
