FOSTER-TO-ADOPT Agreement Form



Our Foster-to-Adopt program allows approved adoption applicants to welcome a cat or kitten into

their home before completing the final adoption.


For kittens, this may allow them to go home with their approved family sooner rather than later, prior to their spay/neuter procedure. For adult cats, Foster-to-Adopt provides families with an opportunity to have a trial period and see if the cat

is a good fit for their home and lifestyle.


The goal is to make sure both the cat and the family are comfortable and happy with the match.

Once the cat is ready for final adoption and the family has decided they are a good fit, the adoption agreement can be finalized.

This Foster-to-Adopt Form must be completed along with the Foster Interest Form.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND MARK EACH PARAGRAPH

I understand that:

As a Temporary Foster Home for AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws, with the intention of adopting the fostered cat or kitten, I agree to comply with the following conditions and requirements:


1. The pet is and shall remain under the care of AINF Program until they are spayed/neutered or ready for final adoption and the adoption is finalized. If for any reason the adoption is not finalized, I understand that upon the request of AINF Program, the pet shall be returned back to AINF Program and the adoption fee may be refunded.


2. I will provide the pet with proper care, including but not limited to, proper food, fresh water, shelter, exercise, grooming, training and medication when required.


3. I will comply with all instructions received from the AINF Program and will not deviate from any instructions as to the care and maintenance of the pet without first consulting with a representative of the AINF Program.


4. I agree to maintain the animal as my own household pet and companion.


5. I agree not to abandon, trade, give away, or sell the pet. If I no longer desire to or am

unable to keep the pet within the terms of this agreement, the pet must be returned to

AINF Program. The pet is not to be turned over to an animal shelter or passed to another owner.


7. I agree to keep the pet under my control and not let the pet roam freely outside of the

home. Cats or kittens must be kept indoors.


8. I will provide a safe and loving home environment.


9. I agree to the following in regard to veterinary care:


a. I understand that AINF Program is providing appropriate veterinary care to date and is in good health except for the following medical conditions about which I have been

informed.      

b. If the pet needs medical attention, a member of AINF Program must be contacted

immediately and must approve all vet visits. Said visit must be with one of AINF Program’s approved vets with whom we work. If FOSTER takes foster pet to an unapproved veterinary hospital for any reason, FOSTER agrees to be responsible for all medical bills incurred as a result of said unapproved vet visit, except in cases of emergency when the pet’s life may be in danger.

c. If applicable, AINF Program will make arrangements for spay/neuter surgery and I agree that I will take this pet to their spay/neuter appointment and for any other necessary veterinary care as directed by AINF Program unless other arrangements have been made by mutual agreement. There are no exceptions to the requirement that the animal must be spayed/neutered before adoption is complete.


10. When the pet has been spayed/neutered, the adoption contract can be approved and

any necessary veterinary records/adoption folder will be provided to me. I agree that I

am responsible for the cost of any veterinary care after this adoption is complete.


11. This agreement is not transferable. If I am unable to care for the pet, I will immediately

return the animal to the AINF Program.


12. I give permission to AINF Program to enter upon my premises at anytime upon reasonable notice for the purpose of determining whether or not I am complying with this Agreement, and to remove the pet, in the event that I violate the terms of this

Agreement.


13. I agree not to attempt to hold the AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws responsible for any damages which the pet may do to any person or property. I specifically release AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws of any responsibility pertaining to any damage to property or personal injury or any occurrence relating to the pet and shall hold AINF Program with C.A.R.E.4Paws harmless regarding any damage or injury(ies) of any nature whatsoever, and agree to notify AINF Program immediately of any damages and/or injury(ies).


14. I recognize this is an Agreement and have signed (e-signed) this Agreement freely and

voluntarily.
