*Fosters will need to be able to bring their cats/kittens to the shelter or the vet as needed or scheduled for check-ups, vaccinations, etc. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule, if possible. We especially need fosters for pregnant cats/Mom cats and their kittens, until the kittens are old enough for adoption at approximately 9-12 weeks.

Sometimes we have cats or kittens recovering from illness, injury or surgery that need a foster to take care of them until they recover. This requires being able to medicate, clean, and otherwise care for the sick or injured cat. You should have experience medicating cats and be able to know if there is an issue. You will most likely need to be able to take the cat for vet visits, etc. We will try to work within your schedule, but often options for appointment times are very limited.

We need fosters willing take cats or kittens that need socialization or relief from the stress of being at the shelter into their own homes. These cats need comforting, patience and kindness. Often they have been abandoned or mistreated in the past, and need to learn to trust again. Sometimes they are kittens born outside that need to get used to people. By working and playing with them in a home setting, they will become more at ease, trusting and adoptable.
This could be a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the progress of the cat. We do not accept feral or semi-feral cats, so the cats and kittens we do accept we feel can be socialized and then adopted out. They are mostly very shy or fearful, not mean.
