Organization & Paperwork

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the paperwork and organization of it is confusing and as a result potential adopters are not getting accurate information. I am going to take care of that in the next few days. It is not nearly as confusing as it looks. The problem is that we do not have a copy machine at Pet Smart so two copies of each form need to be completed. I am going to have all the paperwork organized into individual folders for each cat to make things easier. In addition I am going to have a notebook in the adoption table for you to use as a quick reference for seeing if a cat has a pending hold or has been adopted and is just waiting to be picked up. This should eliminate alot of confusion. We do take more than one hold for a cat as sometimes the adoption application is not approved or the director may determine that one household is a better fit for the cat than another. In the case of Atlanta and Atlantis the first hold failed to return and complete an adoption application. Had we not taken the second hold they would not be in their new home today.
