Cats Adoption
We keep various animals including dogs and cats. Of course, not in every
household, but having an animal means taking responsibility and taking care of
it until the end.
However, in reality, some animals are abandoned or requested to be
adopted.
In particular, animal welfare groups are also taking care of adopting
cats.
In this article, we will explain the cost, method, current situation,
etc. of adopting a cat and how to adopt a cat? How do I adopt a cat? and easiest way to get a cat.
Why do Animal Welfare Groups Adopt Cats?
In recent years, the number of households with cats has increased due to
the boom. It's just that cats have to be diligent about taking care of the
toilet, and it's hard to raise.
Also, some people can no longer feel the cuteness of kittens when they
become adults. When that happens, some people abandon their cats and some ask
animal welfare centers to take them back.
In the 17 years from 2004 to 2020, approximately 237,246 cats were
adopted, and approximately 44,798 in 2020.
Although the number has decreased over the past 17 years, there are still
more than 400000 adopted cats, including abandoned and rescued cats.
In 2004, about 238,929 cats were killed among the adopted cats and about
19,705 in 2020.
In other words, more than half of the cats were adopted, and in
2004, most of them were euthanized.
Cats have lives too. Abandoning care of it without permission and
throwing it away in nature puts it in danger of life and causes pain such as
hunger and thirst. Because there is no one, it ends up being culled.
In order to prevent such a tragic fate, it is necessary to take in a
rescued cat and take care of the cat until the end or find a foster home to give it
a new life. And in order to cooperate with efforts to aim for zero culling,
animal welfare groups are taking in animals, including cats, and looking for
foster parents.

Among the adopted cats, about 238,929 were killed in
2004, and about 30,757 in 2018.

Animal welfare groups are adopting animals,

In addition, the current situation is that there are cats that are not
properly cared for and kept by their owners and are abused.
About adopting cats at animal protection groups
Some animal welfare groups will take over animals if you have to let them
go for unavoidable reasons.
This is because public health centers and animal welfare centers, which
are under the jurisdiction of the government, are facing a shortage of animals,
and animal welfare groups are making efforts to accept them instead.
However, not all animal welfare organizations do so, so if you want to
take your pet in, you must check in advance.
In some cases, the adopted animal is taken care of by the organization
until the end, but in many cases, foster parents are recruited and the new
owner takes over.
Some animal welfare groups that do not take in animals only transfer
them.
This project itself is also run by an animal welfare center, so if you
want to become a foster parent, it would be a good idea to check the
recruitment information of the animal welfare center and animal welfare
organization.
There are costs and methods for adopting an animal welfare organization
or adopting an animal welfare organization as a foster parent. Next, let's take
a look at adopting a cat.
Get your cat adopted by an animal welfare organization
When an animal welfare organization adopts a cat, it is necessary to
first confirm whether or not they are adopting it.
There are also organizations that collect the cost of picking up in the
form of donations. In the first place, there are organizations that do not
charge a collection fee, and there are organizations that do not list the fee,
so be sure to check in advance.
The breeding fee is paid by the group, but for cats that have not been
vaccinated or spayed, or neutered, the cost will be borne separately.
On the other hand, there is a fee of 2,000 to 2,500 yen per cat for cats
over 90 days old, and 400 to 500 yen per cat for cats under 90 days old, as a
fee for picking up at the animal welfare center. A degree is required.
As a way to get them to take over, basically, you will go to the facility
of the animal welfare organization and have them take over.
Please call in advance to discuss pick up.
If you want to take it in, in addition to the cost, you can reduce the
cat's stress by bringing something with a smell such as a cushion, towel, or
tableware.
You can also bring items that you no longer need and use them as support
supplies.
Adopt a cat from an animal welfare organization
It also costs money to adopt a cat from an animal welfare organization.
Since there are many animal welfare organizations that are looking for
foster parents, the cost differs for each, some charge a fee, while others
charge a donation.
Furthermore, there are some that disclose the amount of the cost, and
some that explain it when transferring, so there is no fixed amount.
One organization asks for donations of 10,000 yen per cat. Other groups,
on the other hand, charge 30,000 yen per cat.
A fee is also charged when adopting a cat from an animal welfare center,
but this also varies depending on the animal welfare center.
Some animal welfare centers charge 9,000 yen per pet for spay/neuter
surgery and 5,000 yen per pet for non-neutered cats. If it is a female, it is
8,140 yen and there are various settings.
Basically, it is not transferred for free, and basically, it costs money
to pick it up at animal welfare groups and animal welfare centers.
How to adopt a cat?
As a way to adopt a cat from an animal welfare organization, it is
important to meet the conditions for transfer.
It is required that you have enough space to keep it indoors, and if you
are renting, you have the consent of the management association or landlord.
Consent must be obtained from all family members regarding breeding, and
the breeder must be an adult and under the age of 60. If the breeder is over 60
years of age, a guardian under the age of 60 is required.
However, if there are indigenous animals, they may be turned down for
reasons such as compatibility, there are many indigenous animals in the first
place, they are about to move, or they do not understand Japanese well enough.
Check the transfer conditions indicated by the animal welfare
organization on the official website, and if there are no problems, apply using
the online application form.
After that, if the application acceptance email arrives from the
organization, we will have a meeting.
You will visit the group's facility in person to meet with them, but at
that time you will need to bring an ID card that shows your address and a cage
to bring the cat home.
If there is no problem with the visitation, it is often taken back, but
if there are concerns depending on the organization, or if there is a concern,
some organizations will set up a trial breeding period for all the people who
transfer.
Also, if there are multiple people who want to pick up, it will be in
the form of a lottery.
If it is officially decided to take over, the paperwork such as filling
out the oath will be completed, and it will be transferred.
