Kildare Animal Foundation

When adopting an animal in to your family,you will need to follow the following steps -

1. Visit our shelter where you can meet our animals and choose an animal that you like and that would fit into your family.
2. When you choose an animal you will be required to fill out an adoption form.
3. You will be required to have a fully secured garden.We also like for the pet to be kept as a house pet where it will become a part of the family.
4. You will be contacted a few days later by phone and a home visit will be arranged. A home visit can take between 5 – 10 working days.
5. Our volunteer homing officer will call to your home to have a chat about the animal you are interested in to make sure both you and the animal are compatible. We alsocheck that your garden is secure and to view where the animal will sleep etc.
6. If our homing officer is happy after the visit and the home deemed suitable; a day and time will be arranged for you to collect your new pet.
7. There is an adoption fee of €90 for dogs/puppies, €60 for cats/kittens, €60 for Rabbits & small animals and €120 for grazing animals. This fee is then paid off our veterianary costs.
8. Any animal being re-homed will have a full health check,be vaccinated,wormed,de-flead and all animals over 6 months will be spayed/neutered.
9. We also do follow up visits on every animal that we adopt out.
10. If for any reason after adopting one of our animals that it is not working out the animal MUST be returned to us. It can not be giving to another person or sold. We take this very serious.
11. We have the right to refuse anyone from adopting any of our animals.
