Why Foster

Foster families save lives

Feline Good Animal Rescue operates as a foster-based rescue. This means we have no physical facility! Instead all of our cats and kittens are in foster (volunteer) homes. Fostering a cat temporarily in your home, gives back for a lifetime for the cat. They get a chance for a happy adoptive home instead of living on the streets. You only need to be able to provide a temporary loving, safe environment. We pay for vet care, medical supplies, food and litter.

If you are you looking to change the life of a cat or kitten forever? Then fostering is for you!

Fostering is a rewarding experience that allows you to help our homeless cats get a second chance as they regain health, learn to trust and love again, and acquire socialization necessary for a forever home. The average foster commitment is around one month but we do have shorter and longer opportunities available. We have a variety of foster options which includes: weaned kittens, mama and babies, bottle babies, sick or injured cats, under-socialized cats or kittens, and cats simply needing a cage break.

Why do We Need Fosters?

There are several possible reasons:

  • Foster care can help save a cat when our other fosters are full.
  • Momma cats need a quiet safe space to nurse their kittens and help them grow big and strong.
  • Orphaned newborn kittens need to be nursed or bottle-fed and usually need foster care.
  • Injured or sick cats need time to recover before adoption.

These animals need some extra love and care before they can be adopted. Providing foster care for a few days, weeks, or months can be a lifesaving gift for an animal.

Frequently Asked Questions

The specific needs of the animal will determine how much time is involved. Newborn kittens are cared for mostly by their mom but still need a quiet space and a lot of attention. A frightened cat who needs socialization will also require some extra time. You can discuss your availability with us to determine which cat you’ll be best suited for you to foster.
It’s best to have some knowledge about companion animal behavior and health. We are available to answer any questions you may have. Some of the animals most in need of foster care are those that require a little extra help. Shy cats often need time to learn to trust and the quiet of a home environment. Just by getting to know the animal, you’ll help us learn more about her personality prior to adoption.
A quiet and safe room separate from other pets in your house is required. A clean litter box and fresh water should be available at all times. If needed, Feline Good Animal Rescue can provide food and litter. If your foster cat needs to be seen by a veterinarian, Feline Good Animal Rescue will coordinate transportation if needed.
For the safety of your pets and your foster(s), it’s important to keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.
Feline Good Animal Rescue takes full responsibility for finding a new home, though you can help by telling friends, family, and co-workers about your foster pet.

Giving up a cat or a litter of kittens you’ve fostered, even to a wonderful new home, can be difficult emotionally. Feline Good Animal Rescue does follow up with each and every adopter, and we ask that they send updated pictures of the kitties in their new homes.

Sometimes a foster home turns into a permanent home. That’s why we are always on the lookout for new foster homes!
