This agreement is designed to ensure a positive experience for both our visitors and our cats. Because many of the cats in our care come from vulnerable or medically complex situations, their comfort, safety, and wellbeing are our highest priority. The following guidelines, policies, and liability terms help us maintain a safe and low-stress environment where cats can thrive and guests can interact with them safely and respectfully.

By participating in a visit, you are not only enjoying time with our cats—you are directly supporting their rescue, care, and rehabilitation. We ask that all guests review and agree to the following terms prior to entering the space to help us create a safe and welcoming experience for everyone.

April’s Kittens Visitor Waiver & Guidelines
