Path B · Funded care & placement
A separately assessed commitment when your own circle may not be enough.
Path B is built cat by cat. We assess care needs, receiving-home options, time horizon, funding, and legal terms before accepting any care or placement responsibility.
Assessment before acceptance
The promise must be supportable for the whole life of the cat.
No responsible national program can quote one universal reserve or promise placement without understanding the cat. The assessment defines the appropriate care model, risk, capacity, and financial support.
Assessment considers
- Age, health, medication, and expected longevity
- Behavior, handling, household fit, and bonded-cat needs
- Geography and transport requirements
- Caregiver or receiving-home capacity
- Routine, veterinary, and contingency costs
- Legal ownership and decision authority
- Reserve structure and replenishment rules

Funded acceptance
The commitment begins only after the separate agreement is signed and required funding is verified.
Real cats inform the receiving-care model.Practice behind the framework
Stabilization, observation, and fit come before a durable placement decision.
Feline Transitions draws on the structured rescue and placement work of Cats in the City Rescue. The national program will use that operating experience while maintaining separate agreements, capacity rules, and funding for each accepted Path B case.

Payment for planning does not guarantee Path B acceptance.
The care plan remains valuable even if Path B is unavailable or not accepted. Any placement, custody, residence, lifetime-care, or financial promise must appear in the separate Path B agreement. Capacity and availability can change by state and care need.
