We appreciate the invaluable service that foster carers provide. We want to make the most informed decision regarding which animals to place in your care. Completing this application is the best way to ensure a positive experience for both you and the animals.

Please note: due to our entirely volunteer run organization and management of our Foster Care Program, we can only register foster carers that live in the local Bendigo region or are within a 45 minute drive.

Can you accept the fact that some animals will not survive or may have to be euthanased and that this decision is up to BAWCS?

Yes

Do you understand that anyone interested in adopting your foster animals (including yourself) must go through the standard adoption process, and approval of candidates and placement of animals is a collaborative effort of both the foster carer and BAWCS?

I agree

I have answered the questions above truthfully and completely. I understand that although BAWCS takes reasonable care to screen animals for foster care placement, it makes no guarantee relating to the cat/s health, behaviour or actions. I understand that I receive foster care animals at my own risk and can reject or return any animals for which BAWCS has asked me to provide care. I indemnify and hold BAWCS free and harmless from all liability arising out of any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, action, judgment of every kind and description which may occur to or be suffered by me, members of my household, or any third parties by reason of activities arising out of this agreement.

You may be asked to sign this form at a later date in the process.

I accept that BAWCS reserves the right to refuse any applicant and will not enter into any further correspondence on our decision.
