Volunteer Agreement

I, the undersigned, hereby release and hold harmless Champaign Area Trap Spay Neuter & Adoption Program, heretofore to be known as CATsNAP, including but not limited to its trustees, directors, officers, managers, volunteers, assistants, and assigns from any liability ensuing from any injury or damage to my person and/or any and all of my personal effects caused by any of the animals under the care of CATsNAP, while at the shelter sites (Champaign PetSmart and Pet Supplies Plus) or at any other site.

I understand that volunteering for CATsNAP involves risk to me, including but not limited to scratches and bites from the animals, as well as injuries including but not limited to bumps, scrapes and bruises.

I also understand that there is a possibility of contracting certain medical conditions including but not limited to ringworm and rabies.

I am aware that handling animals can, in fact, cause serious injury. I also understand that I am responsible for my child/children and this statement is applicable to them also.

I also recognize that by volunteering with CATsNAP, there is a risk for my own pets contracting parasites such as fleas, worms and mites, and other medical conditions such as ringworm, respiratory infections, and other diseases.

I have been told that thoroughly washing my hands after handling any stray, feral, or adoptable CATsNAP animal will greatly reduce any possible transmission.

I am hereby choosing to volunteer with CATsNAP willfully and of my own volition, fully mindful of the known dangers and risks I am assuming in connection with these activities.

I further certify that I have medical insurance coverage and recognize that it will be my responsibility for payment of medical expenses related to an illness, injury or accident while volunteering for CATsNAP.

I understand that CATsNAP recommends that all volunteers who handle animals should receive a rabies vaccination through the volunteer's medical provider at the volunteer's own expense.

I also will not be bringing any children under 12 to the CATsNAP headquarters or events, or allow children under 12 around any CATsNAP animals per CATsNAP's policies.

I also understand that I am responsible for my participating child/children between the ages of 12-17, and this waiver of liability statement is fully applicable to them also.
