Tell us about your current pets:
Name, Age, Sex, Type (dog, cat, etc.), Personality, Spayed/neutered?
Are your current pets up-to-date on vaccinations?
While not required, for the safety of your owned pets we strongly recommend that they be up-to-date on vaccinations as we cannot guarantee the health of our foster animals.
Yes
No
Tell us about pets from the past few years that you no longer have:
What became of them?
Do you have a safe, comfortable area to use as a “quarantine” room for new foster animals?
*
(ex. a spare bedroom, heated finished basement, etc.) While all our foster cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and all our animals are treated with Revolution and given vet exams when needed, it is recommended that they be kept seperate from owned pets for an "observation period", just in case.

Yes
No
If you are willing to foster a cat, will you allow it to stay indoors?

Yes

Other:
Who will "babysit" your foster animals when needed?
*
For extended absenses our foster animals can be shifted to other foster homes, but in the case of overnight trips or short vacations it is less disruptive to our foster pets to be able to stay at their foster homes when possible.
Are you willing to accept the risks of foster parenting?
*
Foster parenting is an "at your own risk" type of position; PET Projects will not be held responsible for damages or injuries caused by a foster pet, though we'll be quick to find a new placement and intervene should a foster pet need to be removed from a home for any reason. It's always unpredictable bringing a new animal into your home. We each need to decide for ourselves if the benefits outweigh the possible risks.
Yes
No
