Disabled animal care story template
Prepare a clear care story for human review and adopter education.
Disability is context, not a score. Use this template to describe the animal's actual daily life, the source behind each statement, and the questions a person still needs to answer.
01
Animal and context
- Record the animal's name and the condition or access context.
- Describe what the animal does normally.
- Describe the support they need without exaggerating limitations.
- Animal name
- Condition or context
02
What people should understand
- Name concerns that may scare adopters unnecessarily.
- Replace vague warning language with sourced daily-life context.
- State what an adopter genuinely needs to understand.
- Common misconception
- What matters
03
Observed and sourced
- Record what the foster noticed.
- Attribute veterinary or behavior notes.
- Describe the home setup that appears helpful.
- Foster observation
- Professional source
04
Questions and decision
- List what remains unknown.
- Record reviewer questions and follow-up ownership.
- Keep the final placement decision with a named person.
- Open question
- Final human decision
Early access, founder-led
Keep this with the animal record.
WhiskerMatch is one record per animal that intake, foster, adoption review, and public profiles share. It starts with one workflow, beside the tools you already use, and a person at your organization makes every decision.
$20/month per organization, no seat limits. This is a founder-led early access invitation with no deadline. Writing to ask a question costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
