Omissions and Untruths*
I have read the above information carefully and have filled out this application honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after an adoption takes place, I understand and accept that S.N.A.R.R. has the right to annul the adoption and reclaim the cat.

I give S.N.A.R.R. permission to fully investigate the information provided as well as contact veterinarians and related officials. If the application passes this review, I agree to a home and yard visit on a mutually agreed date by a S.N.A.R.R. representative before an adoption decision is made.

Furthermore, I understand and accept that the adoption decision depends upon many factors, including – but not limited to – the compatibility of the family and home to the individual cat and other applications received on the cat. I understand and accept that S.N.A.R.R. will decide which home is most appropriate for the individual cat, and therefore I will not take issue with the decision. Unless otherwise indicated by S.N.A.R.R. , I may be considered for another cat.
