What to review
Confirm contact information, cat health and routines, caregivers, home access, veterinary providers, funding instruments, accepted residency elections, and all governing agreements.
Keep the plan current
Annual review turns old intentions into usable instructions.
Confirm the people, records, authority, and funding that the plan depends on.
Document review statuses
Received means the file arrived. Under review means staff are evaluating it. Verified means the record supports the plan. Needs correction means a replacement or clarification is required.
Do not wait for the anniversary
Report a death, incapacity, move, caregiver withdrawal, major diagnosis, authority change, funding change, or loss of access immediately. Signed amendment forms preserve version history without replacing the full agreement each year.
Program boundary
Only accepted agreements create program duties.
Public guidance helps people prepare and coordinate. It does not itself create custody, ownership, placement, residency, fiduciary authority, restricted use, or an emergency-response obligation.
