Vet Work

Our cats receive vet work prior to placement, health permitting.  The costs are approximate:  

  • Blood tests for Feline Leukemia - $45 to $85
  • Spaying or neutering - $150 to $250
  • Vet exam - $50 to $75
  • Vaccines (as required) - $25 to $90 (in addition to vet exam)
  • Treatment for fleas, earmites and worms - $50-75
  • Microchip - $25 to $35
  • Dentals, including presurgical blood work where necessary - $750-$1500
  • Fecal exam - $100-$150

The adoption fee covers only a portion of the per cat cost, which is why fundraising and donations are invaluable to our organization. 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.

Spay/Neuter

We spay or neuter all of our cats prior to placement and most of our kittens, depending on their size and readiness.

Screening

Interested adopters go through a careful screening process which includes reference checks, telephone interviews, and may include home visits, where appropriate. We do not place our cats into homes where they will be allowed to go outside unsupervised. Catios and other forms of containment are acceptable. The adoptive owners agree to give Austin Siamese Rescue, Inc. the option of reclaiming the cat, should the adoption not work to the advantage of the new owner and the cat.
 

To Adopt

To begin the Adoption process, complete these simple steps:

  • Fill out the adoption application online. You can select the online application link on the profile page of the cat/kitten you are interested in.  You will need to register and login first under MY RESCUE then click on Register.  
  • One of our screeners will acknowledge receipt of your application, and once the references and vet checks have been completed, you will be contacted by a representative for a phone interview.
  • Once the interview is complete, and approval has been received, we will discuss the specifics of the cat you are interested in. 
  • E-mail addresses are required for your references. Not providing e-mail addresses will greatly slow down the screening process. While basic reference checks are sometimes completed in 2-5 days, the adoption approval process can be longer depending on how quickly we are able to get a response from your references. 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.
