Adoption Agreement

I agree to provide sufficient food, water, shelter, exercise, veterinary treatment and humane protection as the animal may require throughout its lifetime.

I agree to keep up with flea and intestinal worming treatment as the pet requires and if adopting a dog, provide ongoing heart worm preventative treatment.

I agree to waive all claims against Life of Pikelet for injury or property damage arising in any way related to the adoption of the said animal and to indemnify Life of Pikelet for any and all such damages incurred by it.

I agree to advise local council in the event of a change of address or phone number.

I agree to supply and fit my pet with a collar and up to date identification tag.

If adopting a cat, I agree to keep the cat inside and only outside in a secure enclosure, for at least the first six months of ownership.

Life of Pikelet expects that you take your time with the adoption meeting, ask lots of questions and make an informed decision prior to agreeing to adopt. After the adoption if there are any concerns we ask you discuss these with our director. If these concerns cannot be addressed and the adoption is deemed unsuitable the director will make arrangements for the animal to be returned into the care of a Life of Pikelet representative.

Life of Pikelet offers a lifetime return on all pets adopted from us. This means if your future circumstances change and you can no longer care for this pet you simply return the animal to Life of Pikelet. A 50% refund will be offered for pets returned within 14 days. There will be no refund for pets returned after this time.

If my circumstances do change and I am no longer able to care for the animal/s, I agree to contact Life of Pikelet before surrendering them to a pound or shelter.

I confirm that I do not operate a commercial animal breeding business, nor do I breed animals as a hobby or for any other purpose.

If the above mentioned animal has not already been sterilised, I agree to ensure sterilisation surgery is undertaken by a qualified veterinary surgeon on or by the due date. as stipulated int he Life of Pikelet adoption pack. I agree to provide Life of Pikelet with the certificate of sterilisation upon completion. Furthermore, I understand, that until this has occurred, this animal is the property of and is microchipped to a Life of Pikelet representative and ownership transfer will only take place once these conditions have been met. Should a veterinarian determine for medical reasons that sterilisation should not take place at this time, I agree to provide Life of Pikelet with written documentation to that end and to consult with them on the appropriate way forward to ensure transfer of ownership.

I understand that I’m responsible for all veterinary expenses that the animal may incur post adoption.

I agree to respect and obey all applicable local animal control laws that have been imposed.

I understand Life of Pikelet cannot guarantee the future health or behaviour of said animal and I accept and assume all legal risk, responsibility and obligations of ownership from date of adoption onward.

I acknowledge this as a receipt from Life of Pikelet for the adoption of the animal described in the amount mentioned above and therefore promise and agree to the conditions above as outlined.
