PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW HELLA DAM BITCHES N QUEENS RECUE’S FOSTER POLICIES:

Veterinary Care Policy: As a donation-based rescue, we provide veterinary care for conditions that appear to be serious or life threatening that we deem is ethically necessary. To determine whether treatment is ethically necessary, Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue reserves the right to make all decisions regarding whether a condition is considered life threatening and/ or ethically necessary. Foster families who disagree with the decisions of our directors always have the option of paying medical expenses themselves. For minor conditions that are not life threatening, we may allow the dog to recover on their own before seeking veterinary care. Please keep in mind that many shelter animals come to us with sneezes, cough and/or URI and are already on medication. All cats will be vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated, and will be spayed/neutered at Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue’s expense.

Indoor Only Policy: Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue has a strict policy that rescue cats may not be let outside in an unfenced area during the duration of the foster arrangement.

Return Policy: If you feel the need to return your foster cat, Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue will immediately try to make arrangements to transfer your cat to a different foster. However, we cannot guarantee that this transfer will take place within a certain amount of time – it may take us time to make arrangements. If adopters return your foster cat within the first six days, we kindly ask you receive the cat back into your care. However, if you have informed us ahead of time that you must stop fostering on a particular date, we will absolutely accommodate.

Release of Liability: Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue makes every effort to communicate breed, age, health and behavior information about each rescue animal. We often rely on the health and behavior evaluations of the shelters before receiving an animal; As a result, we require foster families to release us of all liability resulting from any wrong or incomplete information they may receive about a particular animal. Cats may also act unpredictably in new environments, new situations, with new people, and when scared/stressed. This is why we suggest the first week or so to not introduce the animal to new people or new animals in the home. When incorporating a cat successfully into your home with other pets, keeping the animals separate in the home, always monitored when together, feed them in separate rooms with a door in-between is the best way to integrate animals with one another. Foster families must release A Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue of all liability for any injuries or accidents that result from their rescue cat and also accept liability for any incidents that arise out of introductions of rescue animals to third parties Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue does not require foster families to socialize cats with people outside of their immediate family, and any decision to do so must be taken solely at the risk of the foster family. By signing the form below, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and are agreeing to the terms and policies stated above.

I, First Name* Last Name* ,understand that Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue and its volunteers cannot guarantee actions or disposition of any fostered cat placed into Foster care with me. I understand that although reasonable effort has been made to assess the disposition of each cat released to Hella Dam Bitches n Queens Rescue beforehand but, being living animals, they may act unpredictably in any given situation, and that I must take necessary precautions to prevent accidents and guard against unpredicted actions by any fostered cat in my care.
