Expression of Interest: Cat Form
Thank you for your interest in giving a pet in need a loving home! Please note that due to COVID-19,
the Sarnia Humane Society is closed to members of the public. In order to help limit the impact on
adoptions, Adoption Staff will be accepting multiple applications for animals available for adoption
and conducting adoptions on a case-by-case basis. The Expression of Interest (or EOI) form, will
allow the SDHS team a chance to get to know your home, your lifestyle, and determine if the pet you
have expressed interest in adopting might potentially be a good fit.
With the uncertain future, multiple applications for each pet are accepted in case individual situations
change, and in order to facilitate the pet going home in case an adopter needs to withdraw their
application. Adopters therefore understand that adoptions are not conducted on a first-come-first-
serve basis. SDHS staff members will be contacting adopters to discuss their application and provide
additional information on the pet that they are looking to adopt. Information including the pets’
medical history, known behaviours, history (if known), etc. will be shared. If both sides are in agreeable
that this is a potential fit, then the next steps for bringing your new pet home will be discussed.
Please email completed forms and any questions regarding the adoption procedure to
adoption@sarniahumanesociety.com. We sincerely thank you for your continued support during
this time, and hope that you and your family stay safe. Sincerely- The SDHS Family.
