Foster Parents Needed
Our Foster program is the perfect way to get kids off their video games and away from the television. Its a great way for families to bond, and be an incredibly rewarding and valuable experience. Foster animals come in many sizes and varieties and need foster homes for various reasons.
- Small kittens too young for adoption need “fattening up” and lots of love and attention.
- Mothers with nursing babies benefit from a quiet home where they can care for their little ones until they are old enough to be adopted.
- Animals with treatable illnesses recover more quickly in a warm and loving home environment and benefit greatly from the careful attention of a foster “parent.”
- When space is tight in the shelter animals need a place to call home until we have more room.
- Some animals need behavior training, and we occasionally have fearful cats who need kind and patient attention to teach them to trust.
- Animals who have been waiting for a home for a long time really benefit from a cage break
There are many reasons compassionate animal lovers foster. For some it’s a family affair where parents and children get hands-on experience in caring for orphaned animals and develop an understanding of pet overpopulation and its consequences.
Others may not be able to commit to full-time pet ownership, but enjoy the benefits of sharing their life with an animal for a short period of time.
Some pet owners just love animals and wish to give an orphaned baby the same chance for a lifelong home that their pet was fortunate enough to receive. Others love the energy and entertainment a litter of kittens brings into their lives.
