IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The average stay in a foster home is 3-6 weeks. Kittens average up to 9 weeks. The branch will supply equipment, food and litter. Most animals on foster will be advertised for adoption.
All potential adopters must speak to the rehoming coordinator to assess their suitability before a reserve can be placed.
Fosterers must not promise animals to friends/family/others as the branch has the final decision of who will adopt.
Animals must stay at the address provided. Cats must not be allowed outside. It is the fosterers responsibility to make sure rooms are secure and steps taken to prevent escape.
Animals must only be taken to our nominated vet, even in an emergency. All medical decisions, fees and treatments are the responsibility of the branch.
Private information, including the history of the animal must not be shared. Photos, videos and details of the animal must not be shared on social media with the exception to our closed fosterers group.
