AGREEMENT / COMPLETION:
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/or Rantoul neuter clinic) 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 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 hold CATsNAP harmless for any accidents or injuries,
which may be caused by my own or another volunteer’s negligence or carelessness.
PLEASE ALLOW 72 HOURS FOR RESPONSE
