Fostering
Foster families save lives by providing a temporary home, freeing up space in the shelter, socializing animals—and even by helping to place animals. Sometimes our new cat rescues require the personalized care and peaceful surroundings that only one of our foster homes can provide. For heavily pregnant moms and newborn kittens, being placed outside of a shelter, where exposures to other animals and humans is limited, can be life-saving. Becoming a foster parent can be a very rewarding experience. Nearly 50% of the cats we adopt out spend time living with a foster, making our dedicated foster network critical to the services we provide. Click Here for some tips on fostering.
From Maddie’s Fund, The Kitten College, The University of Florida’s Shelter Medicine Program, the University of Wisconsin School of School of Veterinary Medicine, and UC Davis Coret Shelter Medicine Program, we also are able to provide The Guide to Raising Unweaned and Underage Kittens. This guide is a new essential for fosters and shelters collectively.
