Cat Foster Home Application

Due to insurance requirements, both the person filling out this application and the primary care giver for any ARF foster animal must be over the age of 18.

Please note that you will require condo board approval prior to fostering with ARF.

If you rent, written landlord permission MUST be provided BEFORE fostering any cats.

Introducing a new cat(s) to a new environment or other animals can be stressful for most cats. The transition to their new space and other animals, as well as getting used to their new litter box and scratching post, tends to be the least stressful for them and have the most lasting success if they have a smaller “safe” room to start in before having access to the whole house and other animals. It is strongly recommended that quarantine periods (first 14 days) are in a bathroom before considering moving them to a spare room or gradually introducing them to the rest of your home following proper introduction guidelines. Having foster cats in a smaller, easy-to-clean area also helps with cleaning protocols should the foster cat(s) have any contagious medical concerns.
