Foster Form

What age of cat(s) are you comfortable fostering? (Check all that apply)

How many cat(s)/kitten(s) would you be comfortable fostering at one time?

Do you have prior foster experience?

Have you had a cat as a pet before? What experience do you have with cats?

Please list the other animals/species you have in your household and if they are vaccinated and fixed (example: Muriel, female cat, fixed and vaccinated).

Where would the foster(s) live while they are in your care? (Spare room, spare bathroom, catio, etc)?

We ask that our fosters keep the cats indoors for safety purposes. Can you commit to that?

Do you have the financial means to provide food, litter and toys for a potential foster?

Per agreement with our adoption centers, shelters and our policy, we require a home visit for potential fosters. We will arrange for a day and time that works best for you.

Dirty Little Paws may inspect the premises where the animal is to be or is being housed at a mutually agreed upon time.

As a foster care provider, I realize my services are provided strictly on a volunteer basis and that I will receive nor expect any compensation or payment whatsoever or reimbursement for expenses not previously approved by Dirty Little Paws.

As the animal remains the property of Dirty Little Paws at all time, foster care providers do not have the authority to place or keep foster animal(s) with another party without prior approval from Dirty Little Paws.

All veterinary visits must be approved in advance and arranged with Dirty Little Paws designated veterinarians. Unauthorized veterinary expenses will not be reimbursed.

Cats and kittens must be kept inside at all times. An enclosed catio may be the exception, however an inspection of the space must be approved by Dirty Little Paws Cat Rescue first.

Animals must be kept in a separate room or enclosure and provided with food, water, litter and frequent human companionship. Dirty Little Paws may provide food and litter in some instances, if requested. However, the foster is financially responsible for food, litter and toys.

Thorough cleansing and hygiene practices must be observed. Animals may be carrying undiagnosed diseases or parasites.

Transportation of animals to veterinarian, spay/neuter appointments, adoption events and other venues as required is the responsibility of the foster care provider.

The foster care provider is expected to maintain adequate medical records, including vaccination dates and when next vaccination is due.

Dirty Little Paws will be kept updated on the animal’s social and physical progress with any changes such as sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, not eating, runny eyes, etc. reported promptly. I accept the animals as is and assume all risk from contact with or care for, them, including but not limited to, damage to personal or property, injury or illness that may arise indirectly or directly. I agree to hold harmless Dirty Little Paws, its volunteers, officers and assigns from any liability.
