Foster Application

About us:

We rescue stray and feral cats — most are trapped, neutered, and safely returned to their outdoor homes. Sometimes we find friendly cats or kittens who need socialization and care. These cats go to foster homes until they’re ready for adoption into loving indoor-only families.

We manage most of this work ourselves, but our work wouldn’t be possible without the support of CDPA, who help with the veterinary care and adoption paperwork. Their support is essential to everything we do.

Could you Foster a cat?

We’re looking for caring people to offer temporary homes to the cats and kittens in need that we talked about above.

• A love of cats and time to give them care and attention
• A safe, indoor home • Ability to travel to for vet visits

• Willingness to provide food, litter, and regular updates

Fostering gives cats a chance to heal, grow in confidence, and find their forever homes — with your help.

Please note that this is an application to become a foster.

I understand that fostering is temporary, and if I wish to adopt, I’ll need to go through the separate adoption process, which includes an interview and an adoption fee.

Foster carers agree to take all necessary precautions to prevent cats or kittens from getting outside. This includes managing doors, windows, balconies, sunrooms, and any other potential escape points such as open chimneys.
