Fostering a cat

I’ll be the first to tell you that most independent rescuers simply cannot continue to help animals in need without foster homes. We need community members who can open their homes, bathrooms, offices, couches, etc. in order for us to keep rescuing, and I am absolutely no exception to this rule. I am constantly looking for kind, caring folks who are interested in housing a furry friend for a temporary amount of time — anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. I also am open to foster-to-adopt arrangements, if you think you’d like to adopt, but aren’t 100% sure.

You can apply here to foster!

What do I need to start fostering?

Supplies:
I generally ask that my fosters provide food and litter to the cats in their care; I cover any and all medical expenses as well as transport. If you’re a first-time foster, I can also provide reusable supplies, like crates, litter boxes, food dishes, etc. to get you started.

Time:
If you’re never at home, welcoming any animal into your space may not be the best idea. Generally, the cats I rescue have been abandoned and need quality time with you to trust humans again, or are somewhat spicy feral kittens who need to learn that people are friends!
