Thank you for applying to become
a cat foster parent!

Since we do not have a building, we are not able to rescue cats in need without loving foster homes. Once you submit your application, the Foster Coordinator from Andy’s Friends will contact you to discuss the foster program and the adoption policies in greater detail. Fostering responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • Providing a safe and loving temporary home.
  • Providing a Foster or “Safe Room” separate from other pets in the home.
  • Providing some basic supplies such as food and litter or requesting supplies/food when needed. We can loan carriers, litter boxes or other supplies.
  • Monitoring the cat’s health and notifying Andy’s Friends for authorization for medical care.
  • Monitoring the cat’s behavior and seeking advice from Andy’s Friends when needed.
  • Follow Andy’s Friends recommendations on socializing and integrating or isolating the cat within your household as appropriate.
  • Allow periodic visits and phone calls from an Andy’s Friends representative to check on the status of the cat.

    Statement of Understanding

    I understand the responsibilities that I am assuming by fostering this animal. I know there may be unforeseen circumstances and expenses with the introduction of a foster into my household.

    I certify that I have never been charged or convicted of animal abuse or neglect. I understand Andy's Friends is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization and that the cats are dependent on volunteers for affection, patience, kindness, food and compassionate care.

    I acknowledge that the cat/s in my care belong to Andy's Friends. If I wish to adopt the cat it must be approved by Andy's Friends.

    I understand that, as a volunteer, I may gain access to information about the organization that is confidential. I agree to respect and maintain the confidentiality of all donors, volunteers and other individuals working with Andy's Friends, both
    on-and off-site, during the outside of volunteer hours.

    If I discontinue volunteering for any reason, or upon Andy's Friends request, I will promptly return all Andy's Friends supplies, equipment, records, money and any other items in good condition.

    Being a volunteer with Andy’s Friends involves some risk of injury and illness. Injuries include, but are not limited to, those caused by slips and falls, cat scratches and cat bites. Cat bites (and severe scratches) may cause infections. Most illnesses or conditions are species specific; however a few, such as giardia, toxoplasmosis, and other parasitic or fungal conditions such as ringworm, are not. Furthermore, without proper sanitation you could spread illnesses. By signing below, you understand and accept this risk and agree that Andy’s Friends will not be liable for any damage, injury or illness sustained while volunteering in any capacity, including
    but not limited to, working at the shelter, at an animal adoption, with foster care animals in your own home or the homes of others, rescuing cats, transporting cats, or trapping cats for health or spay/neuter purposes.

    By signing below, I acknowledge that I understand everything I have read in this application and I have answered all of the questions truthfully. I further understand that Andy's Friends is considered the guardian of the animal in question and has the right, in its sole discretion, not to approve this application as well as the right to remove the cat from the foster home for any reason at any time.
