What does fostering mean?
Fostering means providing a temporary home for kittens or cats until they are ready for adoption. Depending on their age and medical needs, foster periods typically range from one to two months.
As a foster volunteer, you provide daily care, playtime, love, and socialization, helping cats and kittens grow, gain confidence, and prepare for their forever homes.
By fostering, you can:
- Save vulnerable kittens and cats
- Help animals prepare for adoption
- Enjoy the companionship of pets without a long-term commitment
- Make a direct impact on animal welfare in our community
- Receive support from Animal Outreach every step of the way
Animal Outreach provides food, litter, supplies, and veterinary care—you provide the love and a temporary home.
What do you need to be able to foster?
If you have pets at home, you'll need a separate space such as a guest room or bathroom where foster cats and kittens can be safely housed. Animal Outreach can provide large crates and supplies if needed.
You provide the space and love—we'll help with the rest.
