FosterProgram

We are always in need of foster homes. Being a foster
is pretty simple. All medical expenses are paid for and
support is ongoing. It's suggested that if you already
have pets, you have a room in which the foster cat can
be kept separated in. A bathroom works well for this
purpose. The period for quarantine should be 2 weeks
or more. The kitty should have a bed, possibly with a
heating pad if you are fostering a kitten, litter pan,
food/ water and toys. Some people even use an extra
large dog crate for young kittens. It must be large
enough for a bed, food, water and litter pan to fit
comfortably. Kittens and cats should be interacted
with daily to provide socialization and proper
stimulation for well balanced development.

If you are fostering a dog, the same principals apply.
They should be quarantined for 2 weeks.

Current pets must be free of illnesses. This is a
special concern when fostering kittens and puppies.
Their undeveloped immune systems leave them at risk
for contracting communicable diseases.

Homes with children are encouraged to foster. We
provide orientations for families to teach children how
to properly handle small pets. Pets are proven to
encourage empathy and and foster a sense of
responsibility in a child.

Please call to set up an appointment with one of our
foster program coordinators!
