Being a cat foster family is an incredibly important role in helping abandoned or feral cats find their way to loving, permanent homes. Fostering provides a safe, nurturing environment where these cats can learn to trust humans, recover from past traumas, and develop the social skills they need to be adopted. Your dedication can transform a fearful, withdrawn cat into a confident, affectionate companion.

The only way that we can save cats is with the help of foster homes. Being a foster family has rewards beyond the essential value of helping a pet in need find a new home. For some, it is a chance to have an cat companion without making a lifetime commitment, or to try new companions for an existing pet. Foster Care is critical to our rescue efforts, the more homes we have, the more cats we can save. Becoming a foster family is a very rewarding experience, and can be a lot of fun. There are often tears shed when a foster finally finds a home of their own, but knowing you have saved a life and opened up space to save another is truly rewarding.
Fosters will keep cats an average of 4-8 weeks. Some pets need more time because of age, illness, injury, or behavior issues. Your time commitment will be discussed up-front before you agree to foster the pet, but most foster families keep the cat until the cat gets adopted.
