HESY Application

Animal application form

The animals in our care are individuals, each with their own needs and characteristics. In order to ensure that both the animal and his or her carer enjoy their life together, our goal is bring together an animal and a home that would be the best possible fit for each other. Therefore, please note that this is an application, not an order or reservation form. 🙂 Our animal attendants want to find the perfect forever home for our animals.

Note that we rehome kittens in pairs or to homes that already have a cat. A HESY kitten cannot be an only cat.

Make sure you have carefully considered your decision to get a pet. A cat, for example, can live for 15 to 20 years and it needs proper care every day. An animal needs high quality food, supplies, attention, activities, exercise, and veterinary care, not only for treatment in case of illness but also for regular check-ups and vaccinations. Therefore, the expenses may be high. Before getting a pet, you should take a realistic look at your resources, because as an animal carer, you are responsible for the animal for the rest of the animal's life.

We kindly ask you to fill in the form truthfully as it benefits both you and the animal. Please note that we may not have the right animal for you right now and that some aspects of the animals’ behaviour and state of health may always come as surprise.
