Foster Application

Howard County Cat Club Foster Questionaire
Thank you for considering fostering for us. Together we can save lives!

Our part in this partnership is "marketing" your foster on the adoption websites, Craig's List (That's not as scary as it sounds. We screen very carefully), screen potential adopters and pay for your foster's food, litter and vet visits that we've authorized. All you have to do is provide the space and love.

Our application is so detailed because we want to make a good match between a cat and you. You could be together for several months, and we want you to be happy with each other.

Keep in mind that we're a rescue for adults and never have very young kittens or expectant moms. And all of our cats are neutered/spayed and microchipped.
