I agree to the following job description as a foster for C.A.T.S.:
*Kittens/Cats remain the property of C.A.T.S.
*I will provide food, water and socialization to the Kittens/Cats in my care.
*If there is questionable exposure from our kittens to personal pets or personal pets to kittens, I will advise ASAP!
*No medical treatment shall be sought without prior consent from C.A.T.S.
*I will inform C.A.T.S. if there are any concerns with the Kittens/Cats in my care.
*Kittens/Cats MUST be promoted WEEKLY on personal social media with the tags of “C.A.T.S.”
*I will supply at least weekly photos or videos to C.A.T.S. for promoting.
*All adoptions must be processed through C.A.T.S. I will refer interested persons to C.A.T.S.
*Kittens/Cats may be visited in your home by members of C.A.T.S. for various reasons.
*Kittens/Cats may be removed at the discretion of C.A.T.S.
*I will give advance notice if I can no longer foster the Kittens/Cats in my care.
*I will not find foster coverage without the proper approval from C.A.T.S.
I understand my services are provided strictly on a voluntary basis and I will not portray myself as an employee or official representative of the C.A.T.S. in any capacity. I also understand that the C.A.T.S., without notice or hearing, may terminate my services as a volunteer at any time, with or without reason.
As a volunteer, I will abide by all rules, regulations, policies, and procedures of the C.A.T.S. In particular, I fully understand that the C.A.T.S. expects high standards of moral and ethical treatment of the animals under its care.
As a volunteer with C.A.T.S., my duties require that I handle and care for cats, as explained in the job descriptions. I understand that some cats, although appearing to be temperamentally sound, may become fractious, wild, angry, and/or defensive, or otherwise behave in an unexpected manner.
The C.A.T.S. values the concerns and opinions of each and every volunteer. All complaints and concerns shall be directed to administration so issues may be resolved as quickly as possible.

CODE OF ETHICS:
*Respect others, even when disagreeing, display courtesy, sensitivity, consideration, and compassion for people and animals, and use good judgment in recognizing the scope of employees’ authority.
*Safety remains at the forefront in all activities, following all rules, respecting and using equipment and supplies as instructed and intended, and reporting all injuries immediately to staff.
*Self-discipline in recognizing the limitations of myself and others, setting boundaries for myself, and holding myself accountable for the commitments I undertake.
*Communication is critical as both written and verbal skills, in listening to others, and advising staff of relevant information regarding the animals and my involvement at the shelter.
*Welfare is important in understanding my role in the organization, striving to promote a positive environment, and respecting and supporting staff, volunteers, and the animals.
All personal information on this form shall be maintained for internal use only and shall not be distributed to external agencies except as required by law. I certify that my answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I agree to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the C.A.T.S., its Board, employees, volunteers, and agents, for any and all claims for injury, illness, disfigurement, death, or any other occurrence happening during the performance of duties, including any created by an animal(s) that I may come into contact with through C.A.T.S.
