I agree
If the above named animal(s) becomes sick, disappears, or dies within the first year after adoption, I agree to notify BTKR immediately.*

I agree
I understand that the above-named animal(s) has/have been rescued from a feral colony and the behavioral and medical history is not completely known. I accept that a significant part of this adoption will be about building trust between the humans of this household and the above-described animal(s), which may take several weeks to months with the above described animal(s) as a result of its’ feral birth and early life but that I will do everything in my power to foster and nurture that bond on the animal’s time table. I understand that every reasonable effort has been made to ascertain his/her good health and temperament, but not every disease or condition can be ruled out while in our care. I agree to adopt the animal(s) in his/her current state of apparent good health and will assume responsibility for the care and medical treatment of any and all symptoms, illnesses, and injuries that present at any time during which the animal(s) is/are in my custody. *

I understand
I agree that BTKR has the right, at their discretion, to reclaim the animal(s) if there is reason to believe the home is not fit or if this adoption contract has been breached. Furthermore, I give permission for a representative of BTKR to access my premises for the purposes of retrieving him/her under these conditions.*

I agree
In the event that I am unable to keep the adoptive animal(s) for any reason, I agree to return him/her to BTKR, without refund, or contact them immediately by phone to arrange a pick up or drop off.*

I agree
I agree that this is a legal and binding contract, and by accepting this agreement, I hereby release Billy the Kidden Rescue or its’ representatives, volunteers, or successors from any responsibility for any and all injuries and damages as a result of the adoption of the above described animal(s).*
