TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
· I understand that the animal(s) will at all times remain the sole property of South Gippsland Animal Aid (SGAA). I agree that every animal I provide foster care for must be physically returned to SGAA by the agreed date or at any time upon the request of SGAA. I also agree to return the animal(s) immediately if I am no longer able to provide adequate care.
· I understand and acknowledge that I do not have any right or authority to keep, adopt, transfer, or place foster animals in other homes or with other individuals without permission of SGAA. I further acknowledge and agree that SGAA will require animals in my care to be made available for adoption through their partner Petstock Stores at the request of SGAA.
· I agree to abide by local council laws regarding the requirement for an excess animal permit for the animals contained on my property if needed. I understand that this cost will be covered by SGAA but that it is my responsibility to obtain the permit.
· I understand that all kittens aged 12 weeks or more need to be registered with my local council. I understand that this cost will be covered by SGAA but that it is my responsibility to register the animal.
· I agree to provide the animal(s) good loving care, including at a minimum: adequate feed, adequate water, adequate shelter that is properly cleaned, adequate space in the primary enclosure for the particular type of animal depending upon its age, size, species and weight, adequate exercise and follow SGAA rules on transportation and veterinary care when needed. Please note that cats and kittens must remain indoors.
· I understand that medicines and other supplies provided by SGAA are for use with foster care animals only, and are not to be administered to animals that are not the property of SGAA.
· I understand that all veterinary care must be authorised in advance by SGAA. I agree to personally incur the cost for any treatment that has not been so authorised.
· I agree to provide the appropriate people at SGAA with the necessary information and materials at any time (such as faecal samples or temperature/weight measurements) to enhance the care that I am providing to the foster animal(s).
· I agree to hold SGAA harmless from any direct or consequential damages arising out of this foster care arrangement.
· I acknowledge that SGAA may terminate this or any other foster care arrangement at any time in its sole discretion.
