Terms of Foster-to-Adopt

During the time you are fostering our cat(s)/kitten(s), the foster-to-adopt family agrees to provide all necessary care and supplies for the cat including the following:
  • All food, both canned and dry as well as one bowl each for wet food, dry food, and water.
  • Cat Litter, and a litter box and litter scoop.
  • Toys, beds, and a carrier.
  • Routine medical care such as vaccinations, wormers, flea medications, etc. (beyond the standard veterinary care provided by the rescue).
During the time you are fostering our cat(s)/kitten(s), CCRR agrees to provide the following:
  • All standard veterinary care including spay/neuter, blood testing for feline leukemia and feline aids, vaccination for rabies and the initial FVRCP vaccination, and an initial treatment with Revolution for fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworm, and common intestinal worms, as needed, before the cat is formally adopted.
  • Any necessary medications, medical supplies, or supplements, needed for pre-existing conditions.
During the time you are fostering our cat(s)/kitten(s), you agree to the following:
  • Provide a safe, indoor only home with lots of love and attention.
  • Provide food and litter and maintain a clean litter box that is scooped out daily.
  • Make an effort to work with the cat to address any additional medical/behavioral/social needs that the particular cat(s)/kitten(s) require as specified by the Rescue Representative.
  • Respond to inquiries from the rescue about the health and welfare of the foster cat(s)/kitten(s) and contact the Rescue Representative with any questions or concerns about the health or behavior of the cat.
  • To keep the cat at your residence only and under your care until the cat(s)/kitten(s) are formally adopted or returned to the Rescue.
  • You acknowledge that these cat(s)/kitten(s) may or may not have been vaccinated for distemper and rabies and tested for feline leukemia and feline aids. The CCRR Program is unaware of the medical history of the rescue cat(s)/kitten(s) and is unable to test/treat for all other potential health conditions. However, any known conditions will be disclosed. You further understand that these illnesses are a potential threat to other pets in your home and that rabies is a threat to humans as well. If the foster cat(s)/kitten(s) are not fully vetted, it is recommended that they be kept isolated from other pets until vetting can be performed. We will inform you if the cat(s)/kitten(s) have been fully vetted at the time they enter foster care and what routine care will be expected. However, many young kittens that enter into foster care are too young to be vetted beforehand. Some adult cats will not be fully vetted yet if there is an unavoidable delay in our ability to get them vetted.
  • You acknowledge that the foster cat(s)/kitten(s) remain the property of CCRR and agree to return the cat to the CCRR as soon as possible for any reason at the request of the rescue.
At the end of this contract period, you have three options:
  • Complete the adoption contract/process and take possession of the cat.
  • Return the cat to CCRR and relinquish all rights to the cat.
  • Ask for an extension of no more than 2 weeks.
If at any time during this period you need to return the cat(s)/kitten(s), please provide us with at least 3 days notification to make the arrangements for the return unless there is an emergency that requires an immediate return. At the time of the return, all supplies provided by the CCRR should be returned as well.
