Mitchell Animal Rescue TNR Program Application

By filling out the following form you will be agreeing to adopt a stray or feral cat that has come through Mitchell Animal Rescue’s (MAR) Trap Neuter Release (TNR) program. In doing so, you are saving a cat that would have otherwise been euthanized or lived a hard, short life on the streets in an endless reproductive cycle. Upon adoption, your feline will have been tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, given a three-year rabies vaccine, spayed or neutered, and tattooed in the right ear for identification purposes. These cats are generally placed on farms to help control rodent populations, but will only be adopted out to people who agree to supply cat food, fresh water and a heated shelter.

The time at which your adoption will take place will be unknown. Once your form is completed and handed-in, you will be placed on an adoption list. As cats come through the program we will adopt them out using the criteria we received in your form to best place each cat. You will be given a heads up when your time is close. Be prepared, for once the animal is trapped you will be notified and arrangements for pick up or delivery will need to take place. These animals cannot stay at the vet or be released in city limits. Due to the nature of the animals involved in the program they will not be allowed to come out of the trap or carrier in an awake state. The animals will be completely dependent on you for their well-being. All feral cats will need to be picked up at Creekside or Lakeview veterinary clinics.

If you are adopting a stray or feral kitten, vet work may include virus testing, up to date vaccinations, and treatment for fleas, worms, and ear mites if needed. Kittens will be spayed/neutered at 16 weeks. If you adopt prior to this age, you will be required to spay or neuter your kitten(s) at your own expense. All info on kittens will be presented at time of adoption. Kittens will not be tattooed. There will be an adoption fee for all indoor kittens. All kittens are to be adopted as indoor pets.
