What is "Take a Chance on Me: Foster to Adopt" program?
The "Take a Chance on Me: Foster to Adopt" program is designed to help place cats, that are often overlooked, into loving and caring homes. Humans agree to foster an eligible cat from the program for three (3) months.  During this time, our staff regularly connects with the foster home to see how everything is going there.  At the end of three (3) months, the human foster can decide to formally adopt the cat or return the cat to Burry Paws.

So how does the program work?

Approved humans are able to one of these deserving cats home on a 'trial basis' with no obligation.  Here's how:

1. Fill out an application for adoption and note that you want to foster first. This will let us know that you are a potential foster home for the program.

2. Our Foster Coordinator will contact you to discuss which cats are eligible for the program and to schedule a time to visit. During this meeting they will answer your questions and ensure you have everything you need to properly foster the cat.

3. Upon approval, we will arrange for the cat to be delivered by our staff to your home. As we require delivery of all cats by our staff, foster homes must be within the Eastern North Carolina area.

4. We ask that you give 3 months for the cat to adapt to your home, during which time we will call you twice a month to get a progress report and answer any questions.

5. At the end of that time you decide to finalize the adoption or return your foster to Burry Paws.

NOTE: If there are other pets in the home they must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
