foster program

We are always looking for foster homes for our shyer cats. These are the cats that are easily handlable but need some experience in a home environment before they will be comfortable enough to be adopted.

We take care of any medical expenses and you provide love and attention. Quiet, calm households are the best for this kind of cat.

If you have a more active home and would like to foster we have some wonderful more outgoing adoptable cats that need foster homes too.

Lastly are the cats that need permanent foster homes. These are the older or chronically ill cats. They still have a lot to offer but take longer to adopt so we prefer to get them into a home as quickly as possible by offering to pay their medical expenses for the rest of their lives.

During kitten Season, starting in April, we will need foster homes for those adorable kittens that we get in.

Our foster families have first choice for adoption for any cat they foster.

Foster process
An application form will be filled out by prospective fosters and a home visit scheduled. The foster agreement will be signed before the cat goes into foster

I certify that I am at least 18 years of age and that I will be solely responsible for the care and well-being of any cat I foster for Second Chance Cats (SCCR).

Any misrepresentation of the true facts in this application or in the adoption agreement will invalidate the foster agreement and give SCCR the right to reclaim the fostered cat.

I release and covenant to hold harmless SCCR and its members from any claims, damages, costs or actions incurred as a result of this temporary release of the cats to me before their final adoption or transfer is completed at an undetermined future date. I understand the fostering program, rules and guidelines of SCCR and I have decided to become a foster. I will contact the rescue concerning any and all problems associated with the rescue cat in by care. If for any reason I can no longer foster the cat I will return it to SCCR. Should it be necessary for SCCR.to take legal action to recover this adopted cat or otherwise enforce provisions in this agreement, the undersigned adopter(s) agree(s) to pay all court costs and legal fees.

I agree to provide food, shelter for the cat while in my custody. I agree to provide emergency medical care if necessary, and will contact SCCR as soon as possible to advise them of the circumstances. If the cat becomes lost, it is my responsibility to contact SCCR immediately, and to contact the local shelter(s), put up signs in the immediate area, and canvas the area in an effort to locate the cat.

I have read and understand the foster policies above.
