Foster Care Program

General Fostering Information
The goal of the Foster Program is to assist cats and increase their chances for adoption. The program requires that people provide a nurturing, clean environment in their home where the foster animal can receive the care it needs to mature, heal, or socialize. This critical step can dramatically improve the chances for the foster pet to find and adapt to a loving forever home. Some cats may need regular interaction and stimulation while others may just need peace and quiet during their stay. The time required for fostering varies depending on the cat's issues and the age; it can be as short as one week or could last for many months. We provide the food, supplies and medical care.


The Benefits Of Fostering
The Foster Program is a critical addition to and extension of our shelter. It also provides a great opportunity and a rewarding way for you to help an animal in need. It is beneficial for both the foster family and the foster animal in many ways

• EDUCATION:

  You will learn the basics of caring for a cat or kitten and about their physical and emotional needs; the foster cat will learn a new environment can be a happy, healthy, and safe place.

• FUN:

  Playtime and affection are key elements that a foster family provides to a foster cat’s care. Foster family members and foster cats interact, play, snuggle and enjoy each other’s company. Healthy for both!

• SOCIALIZATION:

  Both foster family and foster cat will meet new people and/or other pets.
• DISCOVERY:
• The foster family will interact with a new cat “personality” and gain insight into how that cat communicates, learns and behaves. The foster cat will most certainly learn the same too about the foster humans!
