I already know the basics of traveling between the US and Canada with cats (I lived in Canada when I got Zephyr and Maisie and brought them back with me to the US,) so you don't need to take the time to explain those things, but I have a couple of specific questions that concern the difference between normal pet transport and my current situation. 
I need to take a quick trip from New York to Ontario (a travel duration of about two days) and my foster kitten needs to come with me because his special needs make it difficult to find pet sitting.
1.) Do I need to demonstrate that I have the right to transport him, and if so, what documentation constitutes proof of that? I am not his owner of record because he's a foster, but I am an employee of the organization as well as a foster parent. He is microchipped with the SPCA as the owner. Would just my business card with the SPCA logo be sufficient, or some type of letter from management or the board? I've never done a border crossing with a pet I didn't legally own. I kind of get the feeling they do care who the owner of record is - I was specifically asked that about Zephyr and Maisie, though no proof was required and it seemed more based on determining the accuracy of the health information than a custody concern - but not quite sure how to prove it for an animal.
2.) Froggy is not in good general health, but his issues are completely hereditary and pose no danger to humans or other animals. He is vaccinated for rabies and has a vaccination certificate, and I have access to his medical records with his diagnoses. Would this be sufficient to prove he is free of contagious disease, or is there some alternate type of documentation needed? Again, this is something I have never experienced because I have not done a border crossing with an animal who was not healthy.
He is nine months old, since I know some of the requirements are different for animals of different ages.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
