Whiskerville will only adopt pets into homes that consider their pets to be part of the family. All adopting families will be required to sign a contract agreeing to the below stipulations at the time of the adoption.

Spay/Neuter

Adopting family agrees to have above pet spayed/neutered by end of the 5th month of age if not already altered. If an animal is adopted before its 20th week birthday, adopter is responsible for the cost of alteration. The surgery will still be done through us (there are exceptions). We pay for the rabies vaccination the day of surgery.

Please be aware if the pet has not been altered due to extenuating circumstances (illness, financial, transportation, etc.), Whiskerville reserves the right to enforce that sterilization is carried out in a safe and timely manner. Sterilization must be done no later than the end of the 5th month of age.

Adopting family agrees to have all current pets in the family spayed/neutered if not already done.
