In the event that I am no longer able to care for this animal, I agree to contact Homes for Pets/SHS in the first instance. However, I understand that Homes for Pets/Schertz Humane Society cannot guarantee immediate placement.

By checking this box, I have agreed to share my information with Homes for Pets and have read the above statement.

Cats require a lot of your time, love and attention. The cost of caring for a cat includes food, vaccinations, deworming, testing, boarding, and veterinary care during emergencies. Please consider these requirements when adopting a cat and be sure you are willing to commit to a new family member who could be with you for the next 15-20 years. Thank you for your time!
