ADOPTION CRITERIAEach organization in Critter has its own adoption criteria. All

organizations require an adoption contract and a fee to recoupbasic expenses. All will require that your adoptee be a pet, notmerely a utility animal for protection or hunting. Most will ensurethat the animals are spayed or neutered at the time of adoption;those that don’t will require a spay/neuter contract and a depositthat will be refunded upon proof of spay or neuter. Most will wantto visit your home and see where the pet will live. Because manyof these animals have not been well treated in the past, extra care

is taken to ensure their safety and happiness in the future.

Feral cats. Abandoned by their human families or simply lost, unsterilized housecats eventually band together in groups called colonies. Withouthuman contact for a prolonged period, the cats revert to a wild state. They make homes wherever they can find food. Mothers teach their kittens toavoid humans and to defend themselves. Their numbers steadily increase, even if meager scraps are all the food to be had. No one knows exactlyhow many feral cats live in the United States, but the number is estimated in the tens of millions. They are often wrongly portrayed as disease-riddennuisances, responsible for endangering native species. As a consequence, feral feline communities are frequently rounded up and because they havehad little or no human contact and are thus unadoptable, they are killed.

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a comprehensive plan where entire feral colonies are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and neutered byveterinarians. Kittens and cats that are tame enough to be adopted are placed in good homes. Adult cats are returned to their familiar habitat to live outtheir lives under the watchful care of sympathetic neighborhood volunteers. TNR works. Cat populations are gradually reduced. Nuisance behaviorsassociated with breeding, such as the yowling of females or the spraying of toms, are virtually eliminated. Disease and malnutrition are greatlyreduced. The cats live healthy, safe, and peaceful lives in their territories. Learn more about feral cats and TNR at www.alleycat.org.

PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION FOR COMPANION ANIMALS

The Knoxville City Animal Ordinance requires that companion animals beprovided food, water, shelter, and sanitary living conditions. In addition, theordinance says that a person keeping an animal must provide propercare and attention for the animal. (Sec. 5-23 (d)).Since “proper care and attention” are not further defined in the cityordinance, the Knoxville Veterinary Medical Association provides thefollowing guidance regarding the meaning of these words.PROPER CARE OF A COMPANION ANIMALA pet’s health and welfare depends on more than just food, water, shelter,and sanitary living conditions. Proper care of a pet requires activeprotection from harm and regular maintenance of good hygiene.PREVENTION OF FLEAS AND TICKSFleas and ticks are not just an irritant to an animal. They can causeserious disease.Proper Care:Monthly application of an effective topical flea and tick preventive willensure that a cat or dog is free of external parasites. Highly effectivemonthly topical preventives are available through a veterinarian and somepet supply stores. Other less effective preventives are flea collars,sprays, some topical drops, and shampoos available at pet stores. Improper care:Flea and tick infestation may lead to:· Severe itching, intense scratching and rubbing· Inflamed skin with bleeding or open sores· A thin coat with bald patches· Flea and tick-borne infections· Anemia and even death in cases of severe infestation· Exposure of people to flea or tick bites, and related infectionsHeavy infestations may be indicated by large numbers of obvious fleas orticks, open sores, severe itching, self-mutilation, or pale white gums.When heavy infestations are noted, KVMA recommends that the pet beseen by a veterinarian. As all itchy skin disease is not caused by fleas,KVMA recommends ongoing care with a veterinarian for severe skindisease not associated with fleas or ticks.PREVENTION OF INTESTINAL WORMSIntestinal worms (such as hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, andwhipworms) are easily transmitted, are not always visible in feces, andare not all treatable with over-the-counter deworming medicine. Someintestinal worms may also be transmitted to people, especially to children.Proper Care:Year round heartworm prevention also provides protection against mostintestinal worms. Yearly fecal exams by a veterinarian are the only wayto ensure that a cat or dog is free of intestinal parasites. Feces should beremoved routinely to minimize contamination of the environment andexposure of people.Improper care:Intestinal parasites in dogs and cats may cause diarrhea, blood in thestool, weight loss, or vomiting.KVMA recommends consultation with a veterinarian if there is evidence ofintestinal parasites, diarrhea, vomiting, or emaciation.PROPER GROOMINGProper Care:Bathing, brushing, toe nail trims, ear cleaning, and dental care are allaspects of proper grooming.Improper care:If grooming needs are ignored, a pet may develop any of the followingproblems:· Matted fur that harbors parasites and irritates the skin· Heavy mats causing sores, scabs, or maggot infestation· Toenails that curve or curl into the skin, impede walking, and becomeembedded in the paws· Painful ears that become bloody and swollen· Infected or broken teeth that cause pain or prevent a pet from eating· A collar too tight that may grow into the skin, or cause skin irritationIf there are signs of improper grooming causing a pet distress or pain,KVMA recommends that the pet see a veterinarian immediately.PROPER WEIGHTProper care:Pets need regular, measured meals. Pets need species-appropriate,nutritionally balanced food. Many medical conditions may cause extremeweight loss or weight gain. You should not be able to see a pet’s ribs, butyou should easily be able to feel them. If you cannot easily feel the ribs,

your pet may be overweight. If you can see the ribs, the pet may beunderweight.Improper care:Failure to maintain proper weight may lead to the following problems:· Underfeeding can result in insufficient body fat, weakness, and even death.· Not feeding species-appropriate food can result in many symptoms of poorhealth, such as a dull and thinning coat, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, andfrequent illness due to a weakened immune system.· Overfeeding can result in obesity preventing the animal from moving about,predisposing to arthritis, pressure sores and difficulty breathing.Emaciated animals have easily visible ribs, pelvic bones, and shoulderbones. The abdomen may be very sunken in behind the rib cage. The eyesmay be sunken into the head. Morbidly obese animals may be unable to riseor walk well. They may have pressure sores from lying down, and may belying in their own excrement. There is no “waist” when viewing theseanimals from above. The ribs are not at all palpable. Emaciated animals andmorbidly obese animals that cannot rise or walk require immediate medicalattention.PHYSICAL SAFETYA pet needs protection from both human and environmental threats. Peopleneed to be safe from roaming aggressive or nuisance pets.Proper care:A pet should be safely contained to provide protection from traffic, roaminganimals, other physical danger, and harassment by people. Fences are thebest protection. A pet should have protection from extremes in temperature(below 32 degrees or above 95 degrees), wind, rain, sun and snow. Indoors,in a garage, basement, or a dry dog house are good options. During hotweather, the shelter should have adequate ventilation and air flow.Improper care:Physical injury, behavior problems and death can result from an owner’sbenign neglect or, at worst, intentional harm. KVMA recommends aggressiveintervention where there is evidence of abuse or neglect, or if pets areexposed to extreme weather conditions. Aggressive, territorial or roaming petsmay harm people or other pets, and should be addressed immediately.EXERCISEExercise is essential to both the mental and physical well-being of a pet.Proper Care:Every healthy pet needs to be able to walk, run, or play on a regular basis.Continuous physical restraint such as tethering by a chain, cable, rope, orcontinuous confinement in a pen, is counter to an animal’s need for mentalstimulation and physical exercise, and is not proper care.Improper care:Lack of regular exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation may lead tobehavior problems such as self-mutilation, destructive behavior, fear, andaggression. KVMA recommends intervention if pets are constantly tethered orcaged without exercise or social interaction.PROPER ATTENTION FOR A COMPANION ANIMALCompanion animals are social creatures by nature. They need companionshipand regular interaction. They need physical exercise, medical attention andsocial interaction.Proper Attention:A pet needs a relationship with at least one other living being. Chronic isolationis unnatural and unhealthy for a companion animal. Human contact that occursonly when food and water are replenished does not constitute proper attention.Pets also need medical attention from a veterinarian on a yearly basis.Vaccines must be kept up to date in the best interest of the pet and publichealth. If a pet has a medical ailment, a veterinarian should be consulted.Pets make the best companions when trained in basic obedience. Pets learnbest with positive reinforcement.Improper Attention:A companion animal without companionship may be a lonely, bored,depressed, or anxious creature. A companion animal that has neither humannor animal companionship may become sick, anti-social, or both.Abusive training behavior such as hitting or throwing a pet is not acceptable.Companion animals without routine medical attention may harbor infectionstransmissible to people or other animals. They may have unknown painfuldiseases affecting their everyday lives and ultimately leading to suffering anddeath. A pet owner should establish a relationship with a veterinarian to keep apet healthy, prevent disease, and treat disease that may occur.
