KittyKind does not have a complaint department, they think they are perfect. They post blogs and ads and all kinds of sites where they can say nice things about themselves.Anyone posting to Craigslist.com is flagged if it is not favorable to KittyKind. Attemptshave been made to flag other unfavorable sites.
 People posting about their experiences on other sites can give you a fair warning about  KittyKind.

Screen Before Fostering or Adopting
You're screened for adopting and fostering aren't you? You have a right to ask questionstoo - PRINT OUT these FORMS and use them. There is no charge for this service. Myreasons for making these forms available are made public onhttp://mysite.verizon.net/vzeyfg4f/kittycatfosterpitfalls Paper trails prevent "misunderstandings" or denying that a promise was made. Signed paper holds up better than words that fade into the very air moments after being spoken.Promises are made to be broken. A picture is worth a thousand words - yes, keep pictures too!
1.
Please do your homework before fostering
(especially from KittyKind & Marlene Kess who was convicted of animal abuse in NJ and is now adopting out kittens in Park Slope, Brooklyn)
2.
Read these forms and ask the questions that I've designed to protect you – policiesare not something that should change depending on who is being recruited tofoster or adopt..

oral promises do not hold up incourt and are easily denied by the unscrupulous.

 providing a place for the cat to stay
; by

the pet;
monitoring for behavior and health issues
and

.
 In some cases you are socializing the animal for this group
whowill adopt it out and collect an adoption fee plus grant money for "expenses" that they save on by fostering the pet out.You should not be obligated to pay for Food, Litter or Medical Costs.
They will also claim expenses to preserve their tax free status - if youspend money on the fostered animal get a letter from them forYOUR tax records.
