SCAA Project Terms & Conditions

( For Chinese Version Click Here)
The Terms & Conditions below are minimum requirements by SCAA to support any local domestic companion animal shelter/rescue/foster/adoption project. Each project will be handled on a case-by-case basis and may require further conditions for SCAA cooperation after onsite inspection of a project and at any necessary time in the future. Please note that before requesting any assistance or support from SCAA, the project manager MUST agree to ALL conditions listed below:

• Allow SCAA management and veterinarian access to the project site at any time.Agree to allow SCAA to euthanize all animals that our veterinary recommends*
• Agree to a limited number of animals in the facility, with the expectation to continually lower this number through adoption; only when there are fewer animals than the agreed capacity limit will new animals be allowed in
• Isolation of all new incoming animals for a minimum of ten days observation
• Check-up with SCAA veterinary of all new incoming animals*
• Isolation of any sick animals with animal brought to SCAA veterinary for medical care*
• Separation/isolation of mother/litter until the kittens/puppies are weaned
• Proper hygienic conditions maintained*
• Proper nutrition provided to animals*
• Cat litter used and cleaned twice daily*
• SCAA allowed to provide foster care and adopt out facility animals
• All accounting in project must be financially transparent. Bank account records, product receipts must be available for review by SCAA at any time requested. If the project leader has sufficient funding to carry out the project, SCAA will not provide funding but will offer advisory and management services.

*Depending on the conditions agreed, SCAA will provide funding for these requirements.
(Note: There is not one facility in Shanghai that has successfully and willingly carried out these requirements. Many project/hoarders state that they will comply but then do not isolate the animals and allow continued dumping of animals, expecting that SCAA will always step in to take out the additional animals…SCAA will NOT support any project in Shanghai that does not fully adhere to the requirements listed above.)
