Foster Cat Form

Foster Application

Our Mission: The Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) is devoted to enhancing the lives, adoption rates and experiences of homeless cats living in Beaufort County, SC. The amount of support we can provide is limited primarily by donations, availability of rescuers and foster families as well as forever homes. HAL is all-volunteer non-profit charity and a fund of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry (CFL). 98% of our monetary donations are used to help the animals. We do not have a permanent facility. We are a small organization and most volunteers work independently out of their homes. Thank you for your interest. The Foster Application should take you about 10 - 15 minutes to complete. For a PDF version click here: [gravitypdf name="Adoption Application PDF" id="688e45a1adebd" text="Download PDF"]
