Kitten season doesn't give us warning, it doesn't start small. It hits us all at once and we go from plenty of empty cages to crisis in less than 3 weeks. The bigger kittens we can find a spot for, fix and adopt out. But what do we do when babies under 8 weeks old come in? We can't adopt them out, we cannot raise them at the shelter, but we don't feel like it is fair for them to not be rescued just due to age.
That is where you come in!! We need foster homes to raise these babies. Honestly, fostering a mom with kittens is the easiest fostering experience you will ever have. You take care of momma, she takes care of the babies. You get to play with adorable little kitties, we pay for everything. You get to enjoy the litter with none of the responsibility of finding them homes- just hand them back to us at about 9 weeks old and we take care of that finding/screening homes. So please come to the shelter and fill out a foster application. We are happy to answer any questions, provide any equipment (crates, dishes, bedding) you might need and even come to your house to help you set up a kitten area and settle the crew in if it makes you more comfortable.
Easy, rewarding, super cute? What are you waiting for?!! Get yourself down to the shelter and talk to us!
