TRANSPORT PROTOCOL

Please note, we always prefer if transfers were done in a public place and not someone’s home. (If there is a reason a particular hand off needs to occur at someone’s home, please notify Imagine Home immediately.)

*By signing up for a transport, you are agreeing to and understand Protocol Procedure. If you are uncomfortable with following the procedure, please do not sign up for a transport. We totally understand not everyone will be comfortable with it. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us.

*Disclaimer: Imagine Home Inc. officers, Board of directors, administrators, and volunteers will not be held responsible for any illness, injury, damages incurred during transports.

**Since we request participation in transports from adopters and fosters, please know that your transport request implies your agreement with these procedures.

Please add your information if you wish to be added to our volunteer driver information. We may contact you directly if we see a need for drivers in your area. We will not provide your information to anyone without your express permission.

Does your cell phone receive texts? *
We WILL set up a group text on each day of transport - However, recently drivers have informed us, they are not getting group text messages because some mobile devices do not support messages coming from iPhone, we encourage all drivers to join the event. There will be updates posted in BOTH group text and in the event on the days of transport. Please DO let us know if your phone is an I-phone or Android, for our planning purposes.YesNoPrefer not to receive group texts.

Mutual Respect for drivers AND kitties. *
Please be respectful of all drivers. We DO NOT tolerate any harsh exchanges, foul language, name calling and general nastiness to any driver and or transport coordinator. If any of this occurs, please let us know ASAP so that we can rectify the situation. Please have your phone accessible and CHARGED until your leg is completed. Transports will often run ahead or behind schedule and your connecting drivers and/or coordinators need to be able to reach you to inform you of the time status of the transport. Do not smoke or drink alcohol during your transport. Many kitties are allergic or sensitive to cigarettes and VAPING. Do NOT add another animal to a transport. If you have a certified service animal, contact your Transport Coordinator (TC) or message our Facebook Page to let us know BEFORE you make your trip. ANY cat that is being fostered, whether it is one hour, one day or one week, MUST be kept separate from your own animals. Despite us having some limited knowledge of the foster cat's personality, the stress of a transport CAN and has caused changes in personality. You MUST stay in constant contact with either your TC or our Facebook page to let them know their behavior when you interact with the foster cat. Any cat that you are TRANSPORTING or FOSTERING must be kept INDOORS at all times. If you have windows that you keep open in your house, they MUST have screen protectors. Any cat that you are TRANSPORTING or FOSTERING must be kept inside its transport crate or carrier when going from your car to your house. Adoption Off Transport Removing an animal from a transport before it has reached the final destination indicated on this run sheet constitutes theft in all 50 states and will be reported to local, state, or federal law enforcement agencies. In addition, your name will be publicized on “Do Not Transport” lists that are widely circulated in the rescue and transport communities. All runs are monitored. Please check-in at pick up. We are committed to responsible transport and rescue. Until every cat is home, we know they Imagine Home. We also encourage you to let your Transport Coordinator know when you have returned from your leg. The well-being of our volunteers is as important to us as the cats we transport. Any infraction of these policies and procedures will result in the transporter being removed from our driver’s list. We take our transports very seriously and expect our transporters to do the same. If ANYTHING happens during a transport that causes concern, (including but not limited to a cat panting, breathing fast, or rudeness/lack of communication from another transporter,) PLEASE let your Transport Coordinator (TC) know immediately. That is our job, and why we include our phone numbers on every runsheet. By clicking "Agree," you are consenting to abide by our rules and regulations in all matters concerning transport and handling of cats in Imagine Home's care.AgreedDisagree
