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 short term 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.
