Chauncey’s adoption involved that kind of agreement, but the home visit was the rescuer bringing her to me. I guess if I had looked like a bad cat mom they wouldn’t have left her. Her rescue is affiliated with a cat sitting business, so in a sense their home visits are built in. LOL
If you go to a shelter and bring the cat home yourself, it’s unlikely anyone would visit. (Although I see your point about not wanting to sign up for it even theoretically). I think the consultation on moving is to discourage people abandoning cats. The shelters see all the negative outcomes every day and that's reflected in the form. I agree with you that medical decisions should be left to the vet.
You might check if there is a local area pets group on Facebook. People in my neighborhood pet group are always posting about pets that need homes.

Good luck!
