Application form

Please note

Effective Monday 1st March 2021 Hounslow Animal Welfare Society needs to place a temporary stop on accepting applications for the adoption of cats and kittens as we have a huge number of applications still to process, and we wish to review those before accepting more. Our small team of volunteers is working overtime to tackle the adoption application backlog caused by an overwhelming number of people contacting us to adopt felines in recent months.

If you have already applied to us to adopt a cat or kitten then you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Thank you for your interest in adopting.

Please note that we are only able to respond to your enquiry if you live in our catchment area.

Please check we cover your area before filling out this form.

Do you have any other pets at home?* Yes (detail below) No

Please state whether your pets have been vaccinated and neutered

Please note that some cats take a few months to accept living with others in the same home and it will be useful to have a spare room incase they need to be kept separate initially.

And finally
When are you ready to adopt?*

I am aware that HAWS asks for a minimum adoption fee of £90 for each kitten or cat. *
