List any past experience that you have that will be beneficial while fostering our cats:

All adult foster cats are evaluated for behavior and temperament problems. However, because we often do not have a complete history, issues may emerge that we were not aware of before the cat came to AARF. Are you prepared to communicate these issues and assist AARF in the best possible solution in order to help this cat become the best companion he/she can?

Please list two personal non-relative references and phone numbers:

How did you hear about AARF?

Please review the following statement and check the box below to indicate your agreement:

AARF volunteers cannot always tell whether animals are completely house trained or not, so please treat all indoor fosters as if they are not, until they show you otherwise. Please do not give a foster cat access to bedding, rugs or other valuable items! You may regret it! While AARF is responsible for veterinary care of foster cats in our network, we cannot assume responsibility for the temperament of the cats placed in foster care. We try to assess cats’ temperaments and find a match for your home, but we usually do not have their full history. Please let us know immediately if you become worried that an animal in your care may have aggressive or unsafe characteristics. We will work with you to find an appropriate outcome, which may include removing the cat from your care. -- I acknowledge and agree that by participating in animal related activities associated with Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF), Inc., a North Carolina nonprofit corporation (referred to herein as AARF), I am knowingly accepting the risks of the dangers inherent in such activities. I further acknowledge and agree that AARF does not and cannot assume responsibility for the temperament of any animal that is placed in foster care, is adopted or is otherwise associated with AARF. I hereby release, and agree to hold harmless, AARF, and its directors, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, from any and all legal claims and causes of action based on physical injury or property damage that I, or any minor child in my care, have relating to, resulting from or arising in connection with my activities that are in any way related to AARF, including, but not limited to, providing foster care. I acknowledge and agree that I will notify AARF if an animal in my cat exhibits aggressive or otherwise unsafe behavior.
