Do you have any questions or concerns?COMPLETION OF APPLICATIONPlease check each box after thorough reading. Foster cats are always strictly indoor cats - guard against escapes! They can and will push out screens, escape from balconies, jump high fences, and take advantage of doors/windows left open by visitors and/or children. ? In order for a vet visit to be paid by the shelter you must contact a designated person for authorization first and use Paxton Veterinary Clinic (1953 E 200N Rd, Paxton, IL 60957). In case of emergencies, HART team member will make exceptions and advise as necessary. HART foster team contact information will be provided upon approval of application. If you have an interested adopter for your cat or kitten, that is great, however, they must always go through the usual adoption procedure at the shelter before taking possession of the animal. They have to submit an application at . They can list you as a reference to expedite the adoption process, and we will ask you for your input. Animals are always spayed or neutered before the new owner takes possession. ? We rely on donations, so we provide donated cat supplies upon request (food, litter, cat toys, etc.). However, we do not reimburse foster parents for private purchases. You might want to keep the receipts as donations for tax purposes. Program Requirements ?I understand that foster cats are the property of HART Rescue and that as a foster parent I have certain responsibilities as detailed below. ? I have received information so I know who to contact with fostering questions. ? I have received a Foster Care Manual. I understand that I need to get pre-approval from a designated team member for vet visits, and that the visit must be at Paxton Veterinary Clinic (1953 E 200N Rd, Paxton, IL 60957). I further understand that I will not be reimbursed by the shelter for expenses incurred at a vet clinic of my choice. I understand that continued participation in the foster program depends on my cooperation with these expectations. ?Cat Care Responsibilities ? I understand that tending to the safety of foster cats/kittens includes: never letting a cat/kitten outdoors and preventing escape routes; ?? never allowing young children unsupervised access to kittens; ??never allowing an unrestrained dog near cats/kittens unless the dog is extremely reliable. ??I agree to make every effort to answer any phone call or e-mail sent to me by a team member, my case manager(s), or shelter staff within 24 hours. ? All foster cats/kittens should be quarantined from foster parents’ pet cats for at least 10 days and until all symptoms are resolved to avoid spread of illness. It is recommended that foster cats not mix with resident cats at any time to minimize risk. The shelter is not responsible for illness occurring in or veterinary care required for foster parents’ own cats. ? In addition to providing a routine update about the status of my foster cat, I also agree to contact my case manager(s) and team leaders on an "as needed" basis whenever I have a concern or there is a change, including: ??returning a cat to the shelter (please give team leader warning so this can be avoided when possible); ? extreme lethargy, loss of appetite, breathing difficulty, green nasal secretions, lack of weight gain in a kitten, mouth breathing, sudden behavior changes, etc.; ??transfer to another foster home; ??death or escape of your cat/kitten; ?Adoption Responsibilities ?I understand that once a kitten is 2 lbs. and healthy, and when a cat is healthy, I am expected to assist the adoption process as directed by my case manager(s) or team leaders. This includes, but is not restricted to, emailing the team with updated photos (hartshelterteam@), bringing the cat for at least one adoption event per month (at PetsMart, Champaign, IL – or make arrangements to drop off at the shelter), and sharing information about the temperament of the cat/kitten. I agree to contact EVERY potential adopter that is referred to me within 24 hours, even if it is to inform them that my cat/kitten is adopted. I understand that no cat/kitten is to be handed over to an adopter (or be kept as my own pet) until the official adoption paperwork is complete AND spay/neuter surgery is done. ??I am aware that screening is done on all potential adopters and that they must meet certain criteria before adopting. For this reason, foster cases cannot be promised to family and friends unless they go through the usual shelter or foster team screening process. ? If I decide to adopt the cat/kitten as my own, I must finalize this when they become adoptable (2 lbs., healthy, socialized). Otherwise, I will participate in the foster program's process for finding an adopter.
