Kitten Foster Homes Needed

The email below was forwarded to me from local volunteer Cate and I am happy to post about this problem and call for help.

Kitten season has officially sprung, which means that we are beginning to receive as many as 30 new orphaned kittens, including neonates, into our shelter daily. We are in urgent need of foster care homes for kittens for the next several weeks and months, and for puppies and adult dogs and cats on an ongoing basis.

If you’re interested in being contacted about helping out as a foster care volunteer for this urgent need, please click here. This volunteer sign up form may be used whether you are are new to the program or are already an active foster care volunteer.

Through participation in our Meet the Fosters^TM foster care program, which is generously supported by Veterinary Emergency Center, you can help guarantee a second chance to homeless animals in need. Our lifesaving foster care program provides temporary care to pets throughout the year, especially during the summer months. By offering your time, energy and home to an animal in need, you help prepare that animal for adoption into a permanent home as well as increase shelter capacity so that we can save more lives throughout our community.

All Meet the Fosters^TM volunteers are equipped with the skills, supplies and access to around-the-clock veterinary care needed to successfully and safely care for foster pets.

Thank you for your steadfast support and deep love for our animal companions.
