I agree to keep my foster kittens/cats indoors at all times. No exceptions.
I agree that I will not foster for any other organization or individual at the same time that I am fostering kittens/cats for The Cat House on the Kings.
I represent that I am currently 18 years or older and all of the information I have provided in this Foster Application is true and complete. I understand and agree that I must transport the cat(s) to and from the Petco Fresno Adoption Center when the cats need vaccinations, to get the cat(s) spayed or neutered, or for any other reason. In addition, I understand and agree that upon demand by a representative of The Cat House on the Kings, I will return the cat(s) to the Petco Fresno Adoption Center within twenty-four (24) hours. I understand and agree that the cat(s) will remain the property of The Cat House on the Kings at all times. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT I AM ONLY AUTHORIZED TO TEMPORARILY FOSTER THE CAT(S), NOT TO ADOPT THEM. IF I WISH TO ADOPT THE CAT(S), I MUST COMPLETE AN ADOPTION APPLICATION AND GO THROUGH THE ADOPTION PROCESS, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT I MAY NOT BE APPROVED.
