Siamese Adoptions
Adoption Details
Siamese Cat Rescue Center (SCRC) adopts cats primarily to people in the eastern third of the US, from Florida to Maine and inland as far as Indiana and Tennessee. Adoption fees for SCRC are $125 and include all of the vet work as listed. We offer reduced rate adoptions for Senior Citizens ($100).
All of our cats are spayed or neutered prior to placement.
While we make a substantial effort to ensure the cats are healthy
prior to placement, please understand that these are Rescue Cats from
unknown backgrounds, and you need to be prepared for possible Medical
and/or Behavioral issues that may arise after an adoption.
Interested adopters go through a careful screening process to include
reference checks, telephone interviews, and where appropriate, home visits.
No Siamese will be placed in a new home which allows cats to go outside.
The adoptive owners agree to give the Siamese Cat Rescue Center Organization
the option of reclaiming the cat, should the adoption not work to the
advantage of the new owner and the cat.

To begin the Adoption process, complete these
simple steps:
- Review our
Adoption Policies.
- Read Why Rescue.
- Complete, and submit the Online Adoption Application, following the instructions on the form. You'll receive additional instructions by email throughout the application process, so it's very important that you check your email regularly. (If you do NOT receive a confirming email after you apply, contact us immediately).
There is a non-refundable $10.00 fee to process the application.
Due to the large number of applications we process, they must be submitted online. If you don't have computer access, you can have a friend or relative proxy for you.
Once you have submitted and paid the application
If you've had any pets in the past 6 months, your Vet will need to complete a Vet Reference Form (we'll give it to you during the application process).
Your application will then be checked for completeness and then assigned to an Interviewer who will contact your References. You will receive instructions by email on completing an online Questionnaire and Pet Chart to help the Interviewer prepare for their phone interview with you. Once these steps have been completed, your Interviewer will arrange a time for the interview.
(NOTE: While basic reference checks are sometimes completed in 3-5
days, the adoption approval process can take up to two weeks depending on
response time from personal references, vets, and other requirements.
We are volunteers, but you can be assured we are working as hard as we
can to process your application as quickly as we can.)

Keep in mind that we are unable to reserve a cat for you while you are in the approval process, as there may be other Approved Applicants that are already considering this cat.

Once the interview is complete, and you have been Approved
You will discuss the specifics of the cat(s) you are interested in with the Fosters and your Interviewer. We work very hard to ensure we match each cat with the right situation.
Once a cat has been selected
We will work with you to arrange transport for your new Meezer if necessary (within our general coverage area). If you do need transport, one of our Transport Coordinators will be in touch with you to let you know what the transportation options are using the Meezer Express.
Your participation in the transport is generally expected to some degree, we can make exceptions for those unable to drive. Siamese Cat Rescue Center does not use Air Transport except in rare instances, or if you are willing to fly and pick up your cat.
NOTE: There are additional costs for transportation related items; Carrier ($20-our cost), Interstate Health Certificate ($20) if the cat goes across a state line.
NOTE!
Massachusetts residents ask your interviewer about delivery limitations into your state!
Feel free to contact us for further information.
