Some of us where I volunteer were wondering about policies at other humane society and rescue organizations.

Our question is about policies for cats that were adopted with a health problem that was not disclosed at the time of adoption, but needed treatment right away. Ear mites is a good example.

This is not an intentional, but an accidental situation. It sometimes happens. And I'm generally speaking of small things, because if it was a large problem, they would probably return the cat. (And we always take care of them.)

We all know that when you adopt, you assume responsibility for vet care and costs. But if you adopt a cat that had undisclosed problems, what then?

Does the organization help pay for treatment? What are your experiences?

Thanks in advance for giving us some insight!
