We need loving, ethical, and devoted families to help us foster cats. We want families who will care for them and love them like they would their own pets.
Fostering Requirements and Information:
- Your own cats must be vaccinated for FVRCP. Leukemia vaccine is strongly recommended for the safety or your cat and your foster cat.
- If any medical concerns or an emergency occurs, you must contact Happy Cat directly and they will set up an appointment at one of our vet clinics. If you take them to another clinic, we must be notified prior to the appointment.
- All cats must be kept indoors only! They are never allowed outdoors. If you have small children, you must make sure they close the door behind them.
- If your foster cat is not working out, call Happy Cat and we'll arrange to take them back.
- If you decide you want to keep your foster cat, you will have to go through the normal adoption procedure.
- If someone is interested in adopting your foster cat, they must go through Happy Cat Sanctuary. We will screen them and take care of the paper work process. If you don't feel comfortable with the family interested in adopting, please let us know. We respect your concerns and only want the right families to adopt.
- Cats can harbor upper respiratory viruses and stress can bring them out. Cats are exposed to so many viruses. Happy Cat quarantines incoming cats for 14 days to watch for any illnesses. Your foster animal may or may not have been with us long enough for this 14 day period. You will be responsible for watching for any signs of illness or changes in eating, drinking, urination, stools, sneezing, runny eyes, nasal discharge, or behavior.
- You will need to spend quality time with your foster animal to socialize them and get to know their personality. This will help place them in the right homes.
- No cat is perfect! Don't expect them to be. You will need to give them time to adjust.
- The foster cat belongs to the Happy Cat Sanctuary:
- You are not allowed to give your foster cat away.
- If the cat gets out by accident, you must contact us immediately!
- If we feel the cat is not happy in your home or is not being well taken care of, Happy Cat has the right to take them and put them in to a new foster home.
- We will reqduire a home inspection for all new potential foster homes. This allows us to make sure the house is "cat safe" for your foster cat.
