Fostering

Everybody wants to Foster our Kittens

Fostering is the gift of life. Foster care volunteers provide much needed care for cats and kittens who are not yet ready for adoption. As a foster parent, you’ll provide basic care for your foster as well as loving attention.

Our foster program allows us to save animals who are better cared for in the home – orphaned or feral kittens, pregnant females and medical needs cases– giving them a comfortable loving setting until they are ready for adoption.

This program is especially critical during kitten season – from early spring and through late fall. Hundreds of kitties need temporary homes until they are ready to be adopted. These kittens might be with a homeless mom who is still nursing them or orphaned and either weaned or unweaned. Ideally, kittens stay in a foster home until they weigh 2 1/4 pounds and are then altered before adoption.

To make your foster experience as easy as possible, we will provide you a starter kit of supplies, all required medications, relevant training, and on-call assistance. You will receive the general volunteer training and then you will receive counseling and training with each litter you take home. We believe in a very hands on approach to raising these kittens and will teach you about general kitten and mom care, preventative health care and medical concerns , socialization, and behavioral issues. You will be responsible for providing them with a room of their own, food, litter, bedding, toys and miscellaneous items.
