Frequently asked questions
Foster
The foster stay varies with each cat depending on the animal’s specific needs. Animals with special needs may need to stay in foster care for a period of months. Some may stay only a few days. It really depends on the individual cat’s situation.
Foster homes are responsible for the daily care of the foster cat, including feeding, exercising, socializing, grooming, reinforcing basic obedience commands, observing & evaluating general behavior & temperament, & of course providing patience, love & security.
Understand that all the animals are rescue animals & their behavior can be unpredictable. Be prepared for some adjustment issues in the beginning. It can be stressful for both you & the foster cat or kitten to be in a new situation. Be patient. If the going gets tough we will help out with advice & encouragement.
All of our animals are vet checked, spayed or neutered (or soon will be), current on all vaccinations, microchipped, & tested for worms and parasites & treated as needed. We will tell you if a foster cat has a health problem & together evaluate whether or not a cat with medical needs is a good choice for you.
NEED AN ANSWER.
Feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to help! Being a foster home is extremely rewarding. However, you should keep in mind that many, but not all, rescue animals are housebroken or may have had little socialization or obedience training. We find that when given a chance these animals not only improve, they flourish in their foster care environment.
