I already have cats, can I foster?
Yes! Almost everyone who fosters cats and kittens has cats of their own. It is advised to keep your fosters separated from your own cats wherever possible, so a separate room your cats cannot access is ideal. It is obviously important that your own cats are fully vaccinated, of course.
What equipment do I need?
The basic equipment required would depend upon the type of cat you are fostering, but would typically include a litter tray, cat litter, food/water bowls, blankets, and some toys (especially if fostering kittens). We can provide anything you do not have.
We do ask that fosterers provide their own food, unless a special diet has been recommended by the Vet. We can also provide the loan of a large dog crate to keep the cat/kittens contained if required.
You should have your own means of transport, in order to collect the animals, take them for veterinary appointments, etc.
What type of cat can I foster?
We typically take in kittens of all ages, pregnant females, and occasional friendly adult cats who can be rehomed. Most of the cats we foster would be friendly, but we do also take feral pregnant females and kittens, so please indicate whether you would be comfortable with this.
