Foster Home Application

Foster homes are a vital element in the process of achieving successful rescues.

Once a cat or kitten is initially rescued, he or she must be examined by a veterinarian, given immunization shots, spayed or neutered and sometimes treated for other health issues. This alone can be traumatic, not to mention the life the poor animal had before it’s rescue. Foster homes provide a much needed transition for the cats to rest, relax, recover and in most cases, learn that being indoors with kind and gentle humans where they are warm, dry and well fed is much better than their previous existence.

Foster parents find their contribution to these cats well being extraordinarily rewarding when their wards become socialized to the point where they can be placed in their forever homes.

Affirmation that you understand terms and conditions for foster home application.

Any cat that accept for fostering will be a part of your family for one to several months. Each cat has its own distinct personality and preferences, some of which you can help shape, others which you cannot change. A pet makes considerable demands on your time and resources. Cat fosters need to spend time cleaning litter boxes, socializing, grooming, feeding and playing with their cat each day. Cat that are shy or have not had much human contact need even more time and socialization.

I have read the application and have completed it honestly. I understand that omission of information and/or failure to answer all questions and sign the application can result in this application being declined. Also, if an omission or untruth is discovered after the animal is placed in my care , I understand that Lucky Cat Rescue, Inc. reserves the right to annul the agreement and reclaim the animal. I give Lucky Cat Rescue, Inc. permission to fully investigate the information provided as well as contact veterinarians and related officials.

Do you accept Lucky Cat Rescue's above terms?*

I understand the fostering decision is dependent on many factors, including, but not limited to, the compatibility of the family and home to the individual animal. I understand it is Lucky Cat Rescue's prerogative to decide which home is most appropriate and that their decision is final. Unless otherwise indicated by Lucky Cat Rescue, Inc., I am free to apply under the application process again in the future. LUCKY CAT WILL CONTACT YOU WITHIN 7 DAYS IF YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED.

DO YOU ACCEPT THE ABOVE TERMS?*
