If I adopt a Rescue Train cat, I can make a donation of at least $125 to help rescue and care for other abandoned animals. I understand that my adoption donation is often just a fraction of the cost that The Rescue Train has spent on boarding, spaying and neutering, vaccines, microchips, FeLV and FIV testing, and medical costs. I understand that my donation is a gift freely given, not a purchase price for a cat. No goods or services have been or will be provided in exchange for the donation. I understand that any donation made is not refundable. *
