Mods, feel free to move this as I wasn't sure where would be best to post this.
I took in a rescue cat in June. We didn't intend to keep him, but had decided that until the "perfect" home comes along he stays with us. It seems the perfect adopter has come along and will be by tomorrow to visit with him, during which time I intend to have her fill out an adoption contract to adopt him. I would like to know if my contract is adequate, if I'm missing anything... Any feedback would be appreciated, I want to do this right.
The contract reads as follows:
ADOPTION AGREEMENT

Date of Birth: Unknown, approximately 2 years old.

However, due to his lack of ability to hear potential dangers, i.e. motor vehicles, dogs or other possible predators, it is imperative to his safety and well being that he be an indoor only cat.
