Foster Application

Thank you for applying to be a foster parent! 

Fostering a cat is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have (other than adopting, of course). By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you are: 

•​freeing up a spot so the shelter or rescue can take in another cat/dog. 

•​giving your foster the time he/she needs to be ready for adoption. 

•​helping the shelter or rescue learn more about the pet so he/she can end up in the best home possible. 

•​socializing the pet to a home environment and possibly getting him/her used to being around other pets and different types of people. 

Thank you for fostering for Snow Camp Sanctuary (SCS)! Your support makes a difference in these pets’ lives forever. We appreciate you!

I agree to provide a safe, healthy, playful and loving environment for cat(s) and/or kitten(s) placed in my care. Fosters need socialization at a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour twice daily. 
 *
I understand the foster is property of SCS.

I understand fostering may be a short- or long-term commitment.

If I can no longer foster for any reason, all  fosters will be returned to Snow Camp Sanctuary.

I further understand that SCS will make every attempt to take foster  kitties back as soon as possible, however, the time-frame may take up to several weeks.   
 *
I agree to provide store grade pet food, fresh water, and scoop litter boxes DAILY for all fosters in my care. I agree to follow instructions regarding specific care of my foster(s) such as medications, a special diet (if needed), etc.  

SCS will provide flea medication, worming medications and pay for all approved vet medical bills for foster kitties.  

SCS  will provide cat food/litter/toys as donated.
 
SCS will issue a tax donation receipt for any mileage or supplies a foster has provided.

If you are waiting longer than 48 hrs for a delivery date of supplies, please contact the other adoption coordinator listed below. We are all volunteers and get busy.    

I agree to provide and maintain my personal pets food, flea protection and any other medications/vet care. 
 *
I agree to keep all foster kitties indoors only. If the foster kitty gets outside, you must inform the SCS contacts as soon as possible, within 1 hour. 
 *
I agree to provide transportation to adoption events and veterinary appointments or inform the rescue of transportation limitations in a timely manner to get a replacement driver.  
 *
I agree to contact a SCS representative if a foster needs medical care, and take the foster to a rescue approved veterinarian. If an issue or concern arises, I agree to contact one or all of the persons listed above. I understand SCS is responsible for all approved medical bills. I agree to accept financial responsibility if I obtain treatment for a foster without prior approval.  
 *
I will only discipline a foster pet by the following:

*using a spray bottle with PLAIN WATER ONLY, aimed at the body, not the head or eyes
*by clapping, or using a low tone voice and saying 'No' or 'Stop'
*by interrupting the behavior and redirecting the foster's attention.

FOSTERS ARE NOT TO BE HIT FOR ANY REASON
 *
I agree to quarantine all fosters from personal pets for at least 5 to 7 days and I understand SCS will not be responsible for any medical bills should any personal pets become sick from a foster kitty.

I understand that I will need to routinely disinfect the environment. This will include washing food/water bowls, litter pans, carriers, spraying surfaces and any bedding. (We use either RESCUE Disinfectant, Kennelsol, or bleach, and can let you know where to purchase if needed. Please ask for dilution if unsure.)
 *
I will not foster for any other rescue or take in stray/community cats, as this can put SCS foster pets and your personal pets at a health and safety risk, unless an arrangement has been made in writing or text.

Please contact one of the SCS Rescue Coordinators if a community cat situation occurs. We may have room at another foster home or at the sanctuary to assist community cats or know a rescue that can help. 
 *
I agree to provide pictures of SCS foster kitties at regular intervals, or when requested by adoption coordinators via text, so that the rescue has current pictures to post and share with potential adopters.  
 *
I understand SCS will make the final decision on adoptions. SCS encourages the foster parents to make suggestions of what type of home/ family will create the best life for our rescue kitties based on the foster kitties personality.  
 *
I agree to hold Snow Camp Sanctuary harmless for any illness, and/or injury, and/or damage that occurs due to fostering.
 *
A copy of your responses will be emailed to the address you provided.
