Fostering is a funny thing.
You spend weeks helping a cat feel at home…
…so someone else can eventually take them home.
That’s always the goal.
Every cat that leaves for their forever home is another little success story.
It also means there’s space at Cataholics Kitty Shelter for the next rescue cat who needs a safe place to land.
If you’ve ever thought about fostering a cat, we’d love to tell you a bit more about it.
What Does it Mean
to Foster a Rescue Cat?
Cat fostering is exactly what it sounds like: You open your home to a rescue cat for a little while.
Some stay for a few weeks, others may need a little longer. Every cat is different, and we’ll work with you to find the right fit for your home and your lifestyle.
You provide the home. We’ll provide the backup with the support, advice and everything else you need along the way.
The Best Part
(beside the kitty you take home)
Watching confidence arrive.
One day the cat who’s been quietly taking it all in decides the couch looks like a good place for an afternoon nap.
A little later they’re strolling over your keyboard and head bumping you while you’re writing that email.
Before long, they’ve made your home their home.
That’s when you know they’re ready for someone else’s.
Is Fostering
Right For You?
You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need the perfect home.
You simply need a little space, a little patience and the willingness to help a rescue cat fall on their feet.
If fostering isn’t the right fit at the moment, a donation helps us care for every rescue cat until a foster home or forever family comes along.
Every Cataholic knows…
The hardest part of fostering isn’t saying goodbye.
It’s not asking every new family to send photos.
Could You
Become a Foster?
If you’d like to foster a cat, we’d love to hear from you.
You might only be part of their story for a little while. To them, it’ll mean the world.
